OAPA Call for Nominations - Board of Directors and AAPA Delegate

Call for Nominations - Board of Directors and AAPA Delegate


It is time to take nominations for the Board of Directors of the OAPA and a delegate to the annual AAPA House of Delegates.

It is important for vibrant organizations to have participation from a wide variety of the membership. New faces on the Board bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm, both of which help to keep the organization moving forward. Please thoughtfully consider serving in one of the available positions.

The positions open this year are:

President Elect (3 year term as President Elect, President and Past-President)

Vice President

Secretary

Treasurer (2 year term)

Directors for Regions 1-7

All positions are 1 year terms except as noted.

To be eligible for nomination to a Board position, the nominee must be a fellow member of OAPA and AAPA.

There are four scheduled board meetings each year; one at each CME conference, July and January.

There is one position open for Delegates to the Annual Conference. This is a 3 year term and you must be a fellow member of OAPA and AAPA.

Nominees must be able to attend the annual conference and be present throughout the three House of Delegate sessions.

There will be opportunities for other house service, i.e. Tellers committee, Reference committees, etc.

Please check out www.ohiopa.com and look under "About." At the bottom of the page you will find information on each position.

Send the names of nominees to myself directly (jfry@ohiogi.com) by March 1.

Each nominee needs to submit a Declaration of Candidacy. (This is your platform statement, 250word max, Word Format to be posted on the OAPA web site.)

If you are nominating another person, please include contact information so I can confirm their willingness to be put forward on the ballot.

Nominations will also be taken from the floor at the April membership meeting.

Thanks,

Jim Fry, Vice President OAPA
