The ASBH Nominating Committee requests your nominations for candidates for the positions of President-Elect, Secretary, Directors-at-Large, and Nominating Committee. The candidates will take office at the 2008 Annual Meeting. To be eligible, a nominee must be an active voting member. As stated in the ASBH Bylaws, the Board of Directors has supervision, control and direction of the affairs of the Society, including the disbursement of funds, and determines its policies within the limits of the bylaws.
President-Elect
The elected candidate will serve one one-year term as President-Elect and will take office at the 2008 Annual Meeting. The President-Elect shall automatically assume the office of President for one two-year term and then shall automatically assume the office of Immediate Past President for one two-year term. The President-Elect is a member of the ASBH Executive Committee and will participate in monthly leadership conference calls scheduled for 90 minutes each and two in-person Board of Directors meetings, one at the ASBH Annual Meeting and one in the Spring, usually held in April.
Secretary
The elected candidate will serve a two-year term and will take office at the 2008 annual meeting. The Secretary is the Society’s main communications liaison, reviews the minutes from leadership meetings, and is a member of the Executive Committee. The Secretary participates in monthly leadership conference calls scheduled for 90 minutes each and two in-person Board of Directors meetings, one at the ASBH Annual Meeting and one in the Spring, usually held in April.
Director-at-Large
Nominations are sought for three Directors-at-Large to take office at the 2008 Annual Meeting. The elected Directors-at-Large will serve three-year terms. Directors participate in bi-monthly conference calls scheduled for 90 minutes each and two in-person Board of Directors meetings, one at the ASBH Annual Meeting, and one in the Spring, usually held in April.
Nominating Committee
Nominations are sought for four Nominating Committee members to take office at the 2008 Annual Meeting. Two members of the Nominating Committee will serve two-year terms and two members of the Nominating Committee will serve one-year terms. The two candidates with the most votes in the election will serve two-year terms and the two candidates with the next highest number of votes in the election will serve one-year terms. The Nominating Committee solicits nominations for the open Board and Nominating Committee positions for the following year, prepares and submits the slate of candidates to the Board for approval, and resolves any ties in the number of votes during an election.
