2007 WTA Board Elections
Monday, November 27, 2006Five WTA Board members’ terms expire next January. This is a regular but very important event: Board members set policy goals and oversee their implementation, contributing with their experience and expertise to the WTA’s work.
Running for a board post, as well as voting in the election, is open to all dues-paying members of the association. All voting members in good standing as of Monday January 8th, 2007 are eligible to run in and vote in the Board election. Board members must remain voting members in good standing in order to serve.
The Board meets and votes virtually, so no travel is required, although if you can make it to the Transvision conference in Chicago next July 26-28 that would be great. We usually have a face-to-face meeting at the Transvision.
The term of service is two years, Jan 20, 2007 - Jan 20, 2009.
The period for self-nominations closes January 7th at noon GST. Please send your candidate statements to WTA Secretary J. Hughes
Previous examples of candidate statements are here.
