Nominations Solicited for OPALGA Board Positions and Nominating Committee
Each year, the OPALGA Nominating Committee is charged with soliciting written nominations for the upcoming open positions on the OPALGA Board of Directors. Members of this year’s Nominating Committee are Susan Anderson, Kim Hefner, Jim Kelly, Dan Salotti, and Davida Williams. OPALGA encourages you to become involved in the decision-making process of our great organization, and this year, we thank those who have served on the committee.
For 2009, the Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for Female Co-Chair, Secretary, and four Member-at-Large positions. Each of these positions requires a two-year commitment.
In addition, the Nominating Committee must fill three positions on the Nominating Committee for 2009. Each of these positions requires a one-year commitment.
All nominees must have been OPALGA members for at least six months prior to October 31, 2008. You are encouraged to nominate yourself. If you nominate others, please first check with your nominees about their interest in serving.
The solicitation for nominations letter and form were mailed to the entire OPALGA membership in mid-August. Please return the form in the envelope that was provided to the Nominating Committee, The OPALGA Center, 947 Garfield, Oak Park, IL 60304 by September 15, 2008.
Once the nomination process has been concluded, the candidates’ biographies and election ballots will be mailed to the membership. The ballots will be opened and tabulated at the start of the OPALGA Annual Meeting in November.
