Following its appointment by the Board of Directors in February, the Nominating Committee will begin its work. Each year the following UMRA positions are up for election or re-election:

• At least four board slots, for three-year terms (renewable)
• treasurer and secretary, each for a one-year term (renewable)
• president-elect, for a one-year term followed by one year each as president and past-president

Member input can greatly aid us in our work. The Nominating Committee will collectively know only a small portion of the total membership.So please, please, please take a few minutes to go through the UMRA Membership Directory and/or your mental list of UMRA friends and acquaintances and then send me the names of anyone you think the Nominating Committee should consider. We welcome self-nominations, so don’t hesitate to include your own name.—Chip Peterson, UMRA past president and Nominating Committee chair, [email protected]
