Subject: Your Help with PACRAO Nominations and Elections
Dear Lora, Stuart, Bonnie, and Melisa,
I’m writing to you as the contacts for Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and Nevada, in my role as the PACRAO Past President and Chair of the PACRAO Nominations and Elections Committee. I would love to have your help to identify and encourage PACRAO colleagues from your states to become more involved with PACRAO.
Let me request your particular assistance as the Nominations and Elections Committee builds a list of nominees for leadership positions that will begin November 2014. N&E members are working this summer to start soliciting nominations. In addition to any individual messages that you send, I ask that you send a message via any listservs that may be in place in your state.
Please help me reach out and encourage others to become involved in PACRAO—by contacting outstanding individuals from your state and your campus (INCLUDING YOU) and outstanding individuals across the PACRAO region. There are several positions which need multiple, strong nominees this coming year. Individuals ultimately elected in this cycle would start to serve November 2014.
Leadership Opportunities for 2014-15
· President-Elect (3-year term, including President and Past President years)
· Secretary (2-year term)
· VP for Membership (2-year term)
· VP for Professional Development (2-year term)
· N&E Committee (6 members for 1-year term)
As a member of the Nominations and Elections committee last year, I remember that a fair amount of work was done at the PACRAO conference by me and other committee members to recruit individuals for the leadership positions. While this is a fine time to recruit folks to become involved, it doesn’t always give people a chance to think through their interest in positions or their ability to commit the time to our organization. By reaching out to you (and others) over the summer, everyone has some time to think about this and come up with names of your team members who could be emerging leaders for PACRAO.
You can either nominate a member of your staff (or another colleague) or give me some names of people that you think would be excellent and I can talk with them (and possibly nominate them). Of course, you can nominate yourself! Please don’t be bashful if you are personally interested in being nominated. Here’s the link to the PACRAO site where you can access the nomination form: http://www.pacrao.org/docs/toc_resources.html. When you are there, click on “Nomination Form.”
After being nominated, individuals will be asked to provide additional information to the N&E Committee by completing the nomination activity form, also available at the link noted above: http://www.pacrao.org/docs/toc_resources.html.
If you nominate someone directly, just let me know who you are nominating and for which position. The committee strives to have a balanced slate of candidates and being aware of the nominees is extremely helpful. I’m happy to do the heavy lifting if you want to just ship off a few names to me. The better candidate pool we have, the stronger PACRAO becomes.
Thank you in advance for spending a few minutes on this task over the summer. Responses by the end of July would be extremely helpful.
I’m happy to connect with you and/or anyone contemplating deeper involvement with PACRAO.
Cheers!
Julia
