Dear Colleague:

In May of this year an election will be held to select the next District D Leader. As leaders for groups, subsections, sections and technical chapters you already understand the importance of the District Leader position. Many of the successes of each of our individual units depend upon the leadership support of the District Leader.

On behalf of the following members of the Elections Committee including Long Pham, Dennis Armstrong, Lynden Davis and myself, we wish to extend a formal call for Candidate Nominations for the position of District D Leader. Unit leadership is encouraged make Candidate Nominations based on the attached document which presents the qualifications and responsibilities for District Leader. To ensure each candidate receives full considerations, Candidate Nomination Packets should be submitted no later than March 15 th .

Potential candidates must be either self nominated or be nominated by a colleague. The attached document describes much of the process and gives the minimum requirements for a complete Candidate Nomination Package. The successful nominee shall serve as leader-elect for one year with a 3 year term to follow as District leader, beginning in June of 2009.

This formal call for Candidate Nominations will be followed by an election in early May where the next District Leader will be chosen by a vote. Votes will be received as an official act of each unit’s executive committee. We look forward to receiving Candidate Nomination Packages for a number of well qualified candidates. If you have additional questions about the process please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,
Scott A. Carlson, P.E.
District D Elections Committee – Chair
