Since not every AMSAT member on amsat-bb receives ANS and given the importance of the BOD nomination and election process, I am taking this opportunity to send this ANS news item (released on Saturday, 2 June) regarding the nomination deadline that is coming up:

To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-154.01

It is time to submit nominations for the upcoming open seats on the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors. A nomination requires either one Member Society or five current individual members to nominate an AMSAT member for the position. A director serves for a period of two years.

Four directors' terms expire this year: Barry Baines, WD4ASW; Emily Clarke, N1DID; Rick Hambly, W2GPS; and, Gunther Meisse, W8GSM.

Written nominations must be sent by regular mail and must be received at the AMSAT office no later than 12 June 2007.

Nominations MUST be in writing and mailed to: AMSAT 850 Sligo Ave #600 Silver Spring, MD 20901

Should you have any questions about the nomination process, please feel free to contact Martha at the AMSAT office or me.

Barry Baines, WD4ASW AMSAT Corporate Secretary
