ATTENTION ALL USBF MEMBERS

This Fall the USBF should have already conducted an election to fill 2 seats on its Board of Directors.   Both seats are for a three-year term commencing in January, 2012. Unfortunately, the Nominating Committee didn't get organized and hasn't yet nominated candidates for these Board positions, so the election has been delayed. The Nominating Committee is now working hard to find nominees and the election will be held in February.

USBF Board members must be currently active USBF members, having paid the 2011 and 2012 annual active member dues of $50.

The USBF Nominating Committee will hopefully soon nominate at least two people for the two positions.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING ON THE USBF BOARD OF DIRECTORS, PLEASE EMAIL THE CHAIR OF THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE (GEORGE JACOBS) WITH YOUR NAME AND A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE BOARD.

In addition to those candidates nominated by the nominating committee, candidates may be nominated by petition. Twenty-five or more Active Members of USBF may nominate an Active Member for a Board position. To file a petition nominating a candidate, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the name of the candidate and the names and email addresses of the people making the nomination on or before January 27, 2012. If there are no petition candidates, the candidates nominated by the Nominating Committee will either be elected without the need for an election (if there are only two nominees), or will be the entire slate of nominees for the election.
