“REFORMA, our organization is only as good as the members whom participate.”
We are in great need of outstanding members who are willing to take the challenge and be leaders. Three positions are up for election, amigos y amigas please nominate yourself or someone you think is clear minded, well organized and has the characteristics to move our organization forward. Attached are the duties for each available position.
I am asking all members to nominate someone or themselves for the following 2009 – 2010 REFORMA positions;
Vice President/President-Elect
Treasurer
Chapter Representative
ALA mid winter is approaching (Jan 23, 2009) so I will need a list of nominees by the end of Dec. 2008. This will give nominees enough time to prepare a presentation and a “ statement of purpose.”
Thank You
