All,
A reminder that the deadline for submission of nominations is Wednesday, June 15th. Tick Tock! If you wish to serve, or you know someone you think should serve, now is your chance. It requires only 5 members, or one member society, to nominate. New this year, to accommodate last minute nominations to the maximum extent our existing bylaws permit, an electronic option now exists. Please see the details in the announcement below from the ANS, or on the WWW.AMSAT.ORG web site.
Alan Biddle WA4SCA AMSAT Corporate Secretary
========================================
It is time to submit nominations for the upcoming open seats on the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors. The deadline is June 15th. A valid nom- ination requires either one Member Society, or five current individual members in good standing, to nominate an AMSAT member for the position.
Four director's terms expire this year:
Barry Baines, WD4ASW Alan Biddle, WA4SCA Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA Tony Monteiro, AA2TX
The four candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be seated as full Board members for two year terms. The two candidates receiving the next highest number of votes will be seated as alternate Board members for one year terms.
Beginning this year, in addition to traditional submissions of written nominations which remains unchanged and is the preferred method, initial nominations may be made by electronic means.=A0 These include e-mail, FAX, or electronic image of a petition. Electronic petitions should be sent to [email protected] or faxed to 301-608-3410. Written nominations, consisting of names, calls, and individual signatures, should be mailed to:

No matter what method is used, petitions MUST arrive no later than June 15th at the AMSAT-NA office. If the nomination is a traditional written nomination, no other action is required. If it is other than this, i.e. electronic, a verifying traditional written petition MUST be received at the AMSAT-NA office at the above address within 7 days following the close of nominations on June 15th. ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS WITHOUT THIS SECOND, WRITTEN VERIFICATION ARE NOT VALID UNDER THE EXIST- ING AMSAT-NA BYLAWS.
