Nominations Committee Chair Char Hitz has called for re-opening nominations for 2010-11 FoL Board Officers. President-elect, Richard Densley, and First Vice-president elect, Jack Padilla, re-considered their ability to serve and have withdrawn their names from the Officer slate.
All members in good-standing may be considered for an Officer position. Nominations should be submitted to Char Hitz. Self-nomination is deemed a leadership quality and, as such, is appreciated and welcomed.
