SCLC #284Jamaica 1984elections
Fall 1984 Jamaica Branch in Action preserves committee nominations and constitutional floor nominations for the branch election. June Van Brackle and Raymond Gamble were nominated for president; William Jefferson and Dennis Walcott for first vice president; four other officer posts also had alternatives. Polling was scheduled for Dec. 17, 3–9 p.m. — this notice does not establish voting or winners.
What the notice establishes
- General membership authorized Nominating Committee on Oct 15; committee reported Nov 19
- Floor nominations received under branch constitution
- Election Supervisory Committee named
- Advance notice only — not certified returns, vote totals, or final ballot stability
- Floor nominees should not be assumed a coordinated slate
- Dennis Walcott identity with any later public official needs separate corroboration
Distinct from #281 editorial / #282 desk / #283 Young Adult charter / #280 Candidates Night — same Vol.4 No.6, different leaf/subject.
