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 this 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.
As reported in past issues of the Newsletter, beginning with
this year's
election, members-at-large will be elected to achieve totals proportionate
to the
geographic distribution of CPMT members. This translates as follows:
Regions 1-6, 7 and 9 (US, Canada, South and Central
America): elect 4
members (for total of 12)
Region 8 (Europe, Africa, Middle East): elect 1 member
(for total of 3)
Region 10 (Asia/Pacific): elect 1 member (for total of
3)
Voting members will elect members-at-large from within their
Region only
(that is, members in Region 8 will vote for members-at-large from
Region 8 only, etc.)
If you are an IEEE and CPMT Society member in good standing
and are
interested in serving on the Board of Governors, you can become
a
candidate via petition by following the procedures below. Members
of the Board of Governors must be
willing to attend two annual Board meetings and participate actively
in areas of their
interest (publications, conferences, membership development, chapter
development,
etc.) The term of office for this election is 1 January 2006 through
31 December 2008.
- 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, 22
July 2004
to:
CPMT Society Nominations Committee
