January 2008 WTA Board Elections

WTA Board members set policy goals and oversee their implementation,
contributing with their experience and expertise to the WTA's work.

Five WTA Board members' terms expire in January, and its time to think
about whether you want to run for the Board. Running for a board post
and voting in the election is open to all dues-paying, voting
("supporting" or "sustaining") members of the association in good
standing as of Saturday January 5th, 2008.

The Board meets and votes virtually, so no travel is required, although
Internet access is pretty important. If you can make it to the
Transvision conference each summer that would be great. We usually have
a face-to-face Board meeting at the Transvision conference.

The term of service is two years, which for these five open positions
means Jan 20, 2008 - Jan 20, 2010.

The period for self-nominations closes Sunday January 6th at noon GST.
Please send your candidate statements to WTA Secretary J. Hughes at
secretary@.... Candidate statements will be posted and
voting will take place from January 7th to January 11th.
