[NHCOLL-L:1090] call for SPNHC nominations

[Richard Rabeler]

Call for Nominations - SPNHC

The Election Committee of the Society for the Preservation of Natural
History Collections announces that nominations for the 2002 election will be
received by the Chair from now until 31 October 2001.

Members participating in this election will be selecting a President,
Secretary, and two Members-at-Large to take office in May 2002.  The office
of President is intended as a six-year leadership commitment - two as
President-Elect, two as President, and two as Past-President; the By-laws of
the Society include procedures if circumstances arise that prevent serving
through the three offices.  The Secretary is elected to a two-year term and
can be nominated for re-election.  The Members-at-Large serve three year
terms and will work closely with both Council and the Committee Chairs to
help coordinate the implementation of the recently adopted “Five Year Goals
and Objectives”.  The two Members-At-Large whose terms end this year can
also be nominated to serve an additional term.

I encourage all Active and Honorary members to think about their colleagues
who are active in the Society and propose them for nomination.   Our society
has gained great strength from the dedication of our council members and the
involvement of our membership in choosing people who serve us so well.
