Election of 2008 Board of Directors and Executive Committee
As we prepare for the 2008 membership year, let's review how the LOC Board and Executive Committee are elected. You are able to nominate someone or volunteer yourself as a candidate for the LOC Board of Directors. At the February members meeting a list of the candidates will be presented with final nominations solicited. Shortly thereafter voting members for each of our member organizations receive information on casting their vote for the Board elections. A few days later the results of the election are broadcast to our members via the list serv. Nominations for the Executive Committee positions (President, Vice President, Secretary and Membership/Treasurer) are then sought from the new Board and thereafter the Board votes on the Executive Committee candidates. This process usually concludes at or just after the Board call at the beginning of March, with the results broadcast to our members via the list serv.
We are currently looking for nominations for the 2008 LOC Board of Directors. If you are interested in nominating someone or volunteering to run for the Board, please forward your reply to patrick.hurley@thomson.com. All board candidates will be requested to provide a bio and answer a couple of questions as part of the information provided to members for the Board vote.
