| With the upcoming
General Meeting on
March 29th, my two year term as President will come to a close. It has been
a challenging two years which I have enjoyed; however, I am now looking forward
to continuing on the board as Past President. It is time to seek nominations
for a new president. If this is something thay you have thought about, you
may nominate yourself or someone else whom you think would be good in this
office. We have decided to open nominations for President to the entire
membership rather than pre-select a candidate. If you have had the desire
to become more involved on an administrative level, now is the time to speak
up. Elections will take place at the General Meeting on March 29, 1998.
This is an excellent time for soneone new to come into office. Everything
is in place and "up and running." We have capable members chairing the committees
such as Exhibitions, Newsletter, web site, Education, Folio, and General
Meetings. Our Secretary and Treasurer will remain in their positions for
the upcoming year.
When I first came into office there were several board member positions that
needed to be filled. I was able to get energetic and competent people to
work with me. With a membership of over 175 at this time, I know that there
are many capable people who have not had an opportunity to lead and give
direction to our group. Please call or send your nominations to Betsy Carter.
All nominees will be contacted by the committee prior to the
General Meeting. If
you would like to find out more about the position, please Email me at
rhellman-print@JUNO.com.
Respectfully,

Richard Hellman
