CALL FOR CANDIDATES

The CPMT Society is governed by a Board of Governors composed of
officers, 18 elected members-at-large, and various committee chairs
and representatives (see inside cover of paper Newsletter for details.)

Annually, Society members are asked to elect six members-at-large for a
three-year term of office. Candidates for member-at-large are selected in
two ways --
either by the Society Nominating Committee, or by petition.

If you are an IEEE and CPMT Society member in good standing and are
interested in serving on the Board of Governors, you can automatically
become a candidate via petition by following the procedures below. The
term of office for this election is 1 January 2004 through 31 December
2006. This volunteer positions requires two Board meetings each year: usually meeting the day
after ECTC in May and in Dallas the day after ECTC paper selection in November. In addition,
most Members-at-Large spend a few hundred hours a year volunteering for Board
or Committee activities. IEEE advises that volunteers make sure they can fit these
demands in their busy schedule before running for election.

- Prepare a petition that contains your name, member number,
and statement of your qualifications for office.

- Provide lines for signatories. Each line should include
space for a printed name, member number, and signature.

- Have the petition signed by a MINIMUM of 25 CPMT Society
members in good standing (Student grade members are not eligible to
sign.)

Membership status of all signatories will be validated. It is suggested
that you gather more than 25 signatures in order to assure meeting the
minimum required number of valid signatures.

- Submit your petition by no later than Friday, July 25, 2003
to:
