[amsat-bb] AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Nominations Due by June 15th

[Alan P. Biddle]

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 nomination 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.  These include e-mail, FAX, or
electronic image of a petition. Electronic petitions should be sent to
MARTHA at AMSAT.ORG or faxed to 301-608-3410. Written nominations, consisting
of names, calls, and individual signatures, should be mailed to: 

AMSAT-NA
850 Sligo Ave #600
Silver Spring, MD, 20910

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 EXISTING AMSAT-NA BYLAWS.
