[amsat-bb] Nominations for AMSAT Board of Directors Election 2018

[Clayton Coleman W5PFG]

It's time to submit nominations for the upcoming AMSAT-NA Board of 
Directors election. Three directors' terms expire this year: Tom Clark, 
K3IO, Mark Hammond, N8MH, and Bruce Paige, KK5DO. In addition, up to two 
Alternates may be elected for one-year terms.

A valid nomination requires either one Member Society or five current 
individual members in good standing to nominate an AMSAT-NA member for 
Director. Written nominations, consisting of the nominee's name and 
call, and the nominating individual's names, calls and individual 
signatures should be mailed to:

AMSAT-NA, 10605 Concord St, #304
Kensington, MD 20895-2526.

In addition to traditional submissions of written nominations, which is 
the preferred method, the intent to nominate someone 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)822-4371.

No matter what means 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.
