Call for Nominations
2012-2013 Executive Council & Board of Directors

Welcome to the 2011-12 school year.  We know that you are anxious to continue the important work of developing exemplary communities of practice at schools, colleges and universities both here and abroad.

The Call for Nominations for the Board of Directors and the 2012-13 Executive Council is now open.  We hope that you, as an NAPDS member, will take a few minutes to consider nominating yourself or a colleague for one of the available positions:

• President-Elect (college/university; a three year commitment)
• Board of Directors (from either P-12 or college/university; a three year commitment)

Self-nominations will also be accepted.  It is imperative that all individuals considering a nomination read the Expectations for all Officers of the NAPDS: Executive Council and Board of Directors and The Constitution and By-Laws of the NAPDS. Those considering a nomination may want to contact current representatives to discuss the responsibilities and expectations for each office. For President-Elect, contact Judy Beiter at jbeiter@aacps.org.  For Board of Directors, contact Kevin Bivins at bivins1@pghboe.net.

Please return the nomination form by FAX only to 803-777-4807 no later than Friday, September 30, 2011.  A slate of nominees will be distributed to all NAPDS members and elections will be conducted electronically between October 10 and October 28, 2011. The election winners will be announced in early November, allowing new officers time to prepare for their formal introduction to the NAPDS membership at the NAPDS business meeting held at the conclusion of the March 2012 PDS conference to be held in Las Vegas, NV.

Please note that the nomination form requires the signatures of both the nominating member and the nominee.  Incomplete nomination forms will not be accepted.

Thank you for taking the time to consider someone who will help us move the organization forward.
