Susan was a great chair and helped this SIG accomplish a lot of wonderful initiatives. This SIG and the IGDA as a whole thank Susan for her efforts over the past 4+ years and wish her the best as she goes on to tackle more of the world!

> With that being said, we are going to start the formalization/election process for the Game Education SIG. The framework is flexible enough to accommodate the diversity of all of the SIGs. With this information in hand, we can move forward and initiate the process of holding Game Education SIG elections. We have a lot to accomplish and I'm sure you want to spend as little time to do it, so please review the rest of this email carefully.

>     3) All SIG members who are IGDA members are asked to review the statements and go vote.

>     4) Voting ends and the ballots are counted.

>     5) The winner is announced, they take office, they appoint your new SIG chair.

>     6) Everyone cheers!

> Please take some time to think about this process and if you would like to run for steering committee. Then feel free to chime in about any questions you have about elections, voting, or what the steering committee duties entail. Since you will be a part of a leadership team you'll have people to help you continue making this SIG rock. I am on this list so I'll see any questions or you can email me directly off list at sheri at designdirectdeliver.com<mailto:sheri at designdirectdeliver.com>.

> After discussions, an email will go out next week asking you to submit your nominations.

>

> Remember – only official IGDA members will have voting rights. (So please join or renew your membership ASAP! http://www.igda.org/join)

> Thank you so much for your participation. It’s important for the Game Education SIG members to take part in the decision making process whenever possible. Elections can be a complex and controversial (or apathetic!) process, but these new guidelines, in conjunction with this SIGs awesome members, will help make the process go relatively smoothly.

> Have a great week!

> P.S. For those of you who are curious about nominations - anyone can nominate a qualified person. For this first round of formalization the nominees must be an IGDA member in good standing; adhere to the Leadership (Board of Directors) Code of Ethics; and agree to read and follow the IGDA SIG reference manual with respect to their legal, financial, and organizational responsibilities. An official call for nominations will go out once everyone has had some time to talk.
