Clan Morrison Society of North America

Special Announcement from the Chairman

CMSNA,

It is the time of year where we once again start the process of nominations for board of directors positions. Our society members will know this but for those who dont, CMSNA board of directors is split into two categories, officers ( chairman, vp, secretary and treasurer) and board members - non officers ( member-at- large, chaplain, editor, membership director). Each position is held for two years. We hold elections for officers on even numbered years and non - officers on the odd ones. This year we will be holding nominations and a vote for society officers.

We are opening up nominations for Chairman, VP, Secretary and Treasurer. Card holding members in good standing will be able to nominate other society members or yourself to hold position on the board. If a nomination is made and accepted by the nominee, a nominations committee comprised of board members will vet said nominee for eligibility. We will accept any eligible nominations until August 31, 2026. By September 12, 2026 the nominations committee will need to have completed its vetting process. Shortly thereafter emails and traditional post will be sent to all members who have updated contact with the society and those individuals will be given an opportunity to cast a vote for the eligible nominees. If there are no nominations made for any certain position it will remain empty( potentially endangering the legal statues of the 501c3 status held by the Society). Any positions that are currently filled, those current offers will be offered to opportunity to run again unopposed, should they wish to remain. All votes will need to be counted by October 16, 2026. The results will be announced by October 17,2026.

Nominations may be made official by declaring them in the comments section below or by email clanmorrison2019@gmail.com. before the deadline of August 31,2026.

If you wish to vote and are not a member of the society please consider joining. Also, please share this message with all our kin.

Thank you,

Michael S. Morrison
Chairman CMSNA

Clan Morrison Society of North America

Our Story

The Clan Morrison Society, founded in Scotland in 1909, was granted its own coat of arms by the Lord Lyon, King of Arms.

In the United States and Canada, there were formerly two organizations---the American Section of the Clan Morrison Society and a Clan Morison of North America. In the late 1980s, these unified into the present day, Clan Morrison Society of North America.

Clan vs. Society

It is important to remember that the clan and the society are not the same.

Membership in the clan is inherited, but membership in a society is usually paid for. You are born into a clan but you have to join a society.

The society exists to promote an understanding of the clan, its history and its chief, and further to encourage the development of related Scottish or Celtic traditional skills and knowledge.

Membership

Membership in the Clan Morrison Society of North America is generally, but not limited to, those persons having, by birth, marriage, or adoption, the name of some form of Morrison, Gilmore, or Brieve; or descended from such a person.
