Here's information and a copy of the nominating committee's report
as it appeared in the most recent issue of ;login:.
The biennial elections of the Association will be held in the Spring of
1990.
After the D.C. Conference, nominations from the membership will remain
open until February 2, 1990. The procedure for nominations by the membership
is a written statement of nomination signed by at least five (5) members in
good standing (or five separate nominations), to be submitted to the Executive
Director at the Association office, and received by noon, PST, February 2.
Please include a Candidate's Statement for inclusion with the ballots as well.
Ballots will be sent to all paid-up members as of March 1, 1990, on or
about March 12. Members will have until April 6 to return their ballots, in
the envelopes provided, to the Association office. The results of the
election will be announced at the Anaheim Conference and in the May/June issue
of ;login:.
The Board is comprised of eight directors, four of whom are ``at
large.'' The others are the President, Vice President, Secretary, and
Treasurer. The balloting is preferential, with those candidates with the
largest number of votes being elected. Newly elected directors will take
office immediately following the Anaheim conference in June.
Report of the Nominating Committee
A nominating committee was chartered by the current Board of Directors in
accordance with the By-Laws of the Association to nominate a slate of
candidates for the upcoming election of Directors and Officers. The
committee's charge was to ensure that there were at least as many suitable
candidates nominated as there are positions on the Board. The committee
solicited suggestions for nominees, interviewed all of those suggested plus
several other people, and have nominated the people listed below. All of
these nominees want to serve on the Board and have indicated to the committee
that they have the support of both their employers and families for the time
commitment involved.
There are certainly many other qualified candidates. The committee did
not attempt to nominate all of the potentially good Board members, but
nominated what it felt to be a good slate of candidates. Any member of the
Association may be nominated by petition for any board position (see above
instructions).
The candidates nominated by the committee are:
President Steven C. Johnson, Stardent Computer
President Marshall Kirk McKusick, University of California
