Liebe Mitglieder,

Please see the below message from the The Elections Committee:

STV Members,

The annual meeting is once again upon us, and that means we need to select the leaders of our club for the 2027 calendar year at our annual meeting on November 19, 2026, at 7:30 PM in our DGACC club room!

These are the Vorstand positions for which we will be electing members, along with the individuals who currently hold those positions:

1. President: Jakob Hamlescher

2. Vice President: Darwin McClellan

3. Treasurer: Marianne Buechler

4. Recording Secretary: Heidi Rock

5. Corresponding Secretary: Cortney Laning

6. 1. Vorplattler: Brent Miller

7. 2. Vorplattler: Jordan Raiber

8. 1. Vortänzerin: Elizabeth Woidke

9. 2. Vortänzerin: Anja Tichy

10. 1. Chorleiterin: Erika Wagner

11. 2. Chorleiterin: Anita Fjeldstad

12. Trustees:

The Elections Committee will contact all current officers to determine whether they are willing to accept a nomination for their current positions and whether they would be willing to accept nomination for another position. The Elections Committee will also be accepting nominations for leadership positions in our club from the membership in three ways:

1. Via an email sent to elections@stvbavaria.org, where you will tell us which individual you are nominating for which position. Please note that you are encouraged to include multiple nominations in one email. Email nominations will be accepted through noon on November 16, 2026, to allow time prior to the election to contact the nominee and determine whether they accept or decline the nomination.

2. By contacting any member of the Elections Committee directly, although we prefer that nominations be submitted via email to elections@stvbavaria.org whenever possible.

3. On the day of our annual meeting, in person. Please note that these nominations must be for individuals who are physically present so that they can accept or decline the nomination at that time.

The Elections Committee will compile the candidates nominated for each position and make the final details available to you before the elections begin at the meeting.

Thank you for your promptness in responding to this, and we apologize for the relatively late notice in getting this information to you. Thank you for your participation in this process!

Respectfully,

The 2026 Elections Committee

- Peter Dohm

- Lukas Hamlescher

- Kenny Ott

Thank you,

Cortney
