Committee members who were proposed as Director candidates recused themselves from the applicable discussions and votes.

ALTERNATIVE NOMINATIONS BY PETITION:

Realtor Members may file petitions to nominate candidates other than those proposed above for any of the Director positions. A petition must be signed by at least three percent (3%) of the Realtor members of HGAR, which 3% constitutes 313 Realtors as of this report. Further, the Realtors must be affiliated with at least twenty (20) different Realtor firms. This means that of the 313 signatures required, at least 20 separate real estate firms must be reflected on a petition. Branch offices do not count as separate firms. The balance of the Officer positions are not subject to petition challenges because they are subject to election by the HGAR Board of Directors.

As explained in the initial Notice of Annual Meeting sent to the Membership in September, any such petition must have been filed with the 2017 HGAR Secretary/Treasurer at least twenty-one (21) days before the election, accordingly, no later than noon on Monday, October 9, 2017. The petition must state the name and firm of the candidate(s). A link to a copy of the HGAR By-Laws is posted on the home page of www.hgar.com. Petitioners are strongly urged to consult with the HGAR CEO or other executive staff members, to be assured of a proper understanding and interpretation of the Bylaws. In the event that nomination petition(s) are filed, HGAR must send notice of such additional nominations to all members eligible to vote in such election at least fourteen (14) days prior to the annual meeting (i.e., not later than Monday October 16, 2017).
