Nominations for the 2015-2016 AAB Associate Member Section (AMS) Administrative Board are now open.
Nominations are sought for three (3) Registrant Class Board Members and for three (3) members of the 2015 Nominating Committee.
Members may be nominated for election to the AMS Administrative Board or to the AMS Nominating Committee in the following ways:
To be eligible for nomination as a Registrant Class Board Member, an individual must be an AMS Registrant Class or an AMS Registrant Class Life Member in good standing. The AAB/AMS bylaws provide that not more than one AMS Administrative Board Member (except for the AMS Board Member elected by the AMS-Regular Class) may come from one state or nation, other than the U.S. Therefore, members may not be nominated for the Registrant Class Board Member positions from the following states as those states are already represented on the AMS Administrative Board: Colorado [Kenneth Jensen, GS(ABB)/MT(AAB)]; Florida [Athena L. Russell, MT(AAB)]; Iowa [Rick L. Quayle, MT(AAB)]; Missouri [Joan Fulk, MT(AAB)]; or Texas [Nancy Henderson, MT(AAB)].
To be eligible for nomination to the Nominating Committee, an individual must be an AMS Registrant Class, AMS Regular Class, or an AMS Life Member in good standing. Members from the state of Missouri may not be nominated to serve on the Nominating Committee as that state will be represented by Immediate Past Chair Joan Fulk, MT(AAB).
Each region of the AAB Associate Member Section is entitled to one (1) Regional AMS Representative on the AAB Regional Boards of Governors. The AAB Nominating Committee is currently soliciting names of AMS members interested in serving as Regional AMS Representatives on the AAB Regional Boards of Governors.
To be eligible for nomination, the individual must be an AMS Registrant Class, AMS Regular Class, or an AMS Life Member in good standing and must reside in the region of nomination.
Forward the names of nominees, no later than Monday, March 2, 2015, to: Samuel Leggett, MT(AAB), Chairperson, AMS Nominating Committee, by email: ams@aab.org, fax: (314)241-1449, or mail: AMS Nominating Committee, 906 Olive Street, Suite 1200, Saint Louis, MO 63101-1448.
