Ban Chấp Hành Đoàn Voting Protocol

As of 2019, Phong Trào Thiếu Nhi Thánh Thể Việt Nam Tại Hoa Kỳ has issued new and updated Bylaws (Nội Quy). As such, please note the following protocol regarding the voting procedures for executive committees at the chapter level:

  1. Inform Thư Ký Liên Đoàn of the upcoming vote and list of potential dates and times.

    *Please inform Liên Đoàn 3 months in advance so that arrangements can be made for a member of BCHLD to be present to accompany your chapter in this journey.

  2. A spiritual retreat is required prior to the voting procedures. This retreat is done internally and is coordinated with your chapter’s Cha Tuyên Úy.

  3. Staff days are encouraged but not mandatory. If your chapter would like to hold a staff day, please make the staff day request 3 months in advance so that we may give adequate time and attention to planning the staff day.

  4. Thư Ký Liên Đoàn will inform BTV LĐ so that arrangements can be made for a member of BCH LĐ to be present to accompany your chapter in the voting process.

  5. The voting procedure itself may be facilitated by an active member of your chapter who will be entrusted in the role of Trưởng Ban Bầu Cử. If utilizing a Trưởng Ban Bầu Cử within your chapter, they should be identified 3 months in advance. This individual will refrain from running for a position during the election process. Your chapter may delegate this role back to Liên Đoàn. If such delegation is made, the attending member of BCHLD will fulfill this role.

  6. Voting facilitator must be a neutral party who is not partaking in the voting process. See Bylaws for specifics regarding voting procedures.

  7. After voting is completed, a roster of committee members and their contact information should be sent to Thư Ký Liên Đoàn for updating.

  8. Contact Thư Ký Liên Đoàn and Phó Nghiên Huấn Liên Đoàn ̣via email to schedule a date for tuyên hứa/inauguration.
