AMENDED May 24, 2020

To All Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre Members:

We hope this finds all of you doing well. Life is very different this year as compared to previous times. We have had to cancel the last show of the 2019-2020 season to the great disappointment of the cast, crew, members and patrons. Usually at the end of May, GHCT holds a membership picnic and meeting where we conduct elections for the Board of Trustees. Due to the COVID19 restrictions, we will not be able to hold an in-person meeting. We will hold a Zoom meeting instead on May 26, 2020 starting at 7:00 pm. All members are invited to attend and receive updates from the board activities. The link for the meeting is here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85017677144.

Due to the nature of an electronic meeting, we will be soliciting nominations for the board prior to the actual meeting. Nomination criteria are listed below, as well as a Google form to be completed by or for the nominee. Nominations will are currently re-open and will conclude at 12 noon on May 26, 2020. The nominations will be reviewed by a designated Nomination Committee. The acceptable member’s bios will be posted on the website. If there are five or less eligible nominees, the election can be approved by acclamation during the meeting. If more than five members are nominated, the election will be held electronically from May 28-30th. Results will be announced on the website on June 1. If you have already submitted a nomination, no further action is required.
