Amazing as it may seem, the BASEM Blogger is happy to see anyone elected on 12th November – as long as there is no conflict of interest and they devote their energies to representing the best interests of all the 884 voting members of BASEM when they are Trustees.
The silent majority and the vocal minority have opinions that need to be respected and the long-term future of BASEM is the one thing that should unite them.
When BASEM was at its lowest ebb, and essentially bankrupt, a modest individual stepped forward to take control of the finances, to re-write the Memorandum and Articles of Association and to end up as President.
He probably knows more about the merits of the individual candidates than 99% of the voting membership and the Blogger therefore suggests that you nominate GRAHAM HOLLOWAY as your proxy, if you cannot be at the AGM in person.
Dr Holloway will be as surprised as anyone to hear about this, but a straw poll by the Blogger confirmed that his integrity is beyond question and that his commitment to BASEM is unmatched.
The Blogger has no list of preferred candidates. The merit of each individual nominee should not be determined by a political them/us – Democrat, Republican, Labour, Conservative.
If you at the AGM, you will no doubt vote in the best interests of the organisation as a whole.
If you can’t be there, how about sending in a signed proxy form by 6.30 on Tuesday 10th?
BASEM Blogger Exclusive – The FSEM Treasurer has kindly asked the Blogger to explain how being on a BASEM Exec that recorded an operating loss of at least £152,000 in 2011, thus bringing BASEM to the brink of insolvency, can be neatly separated from a Vote of No Confidence at the EGM in 2012.
The Blogger is happy to do this and the story will truly amaze you.
