Date: 10 April 2010

The Nominating Task Force is asking for nominations to the LitvakSIG Board to fill the three LitvakSIG Board positions whose terms expire this year and are currently filled by Judy Baston, David Hoffman, and Eden Joachim.

Any of these individuals may express their desire to run again, and be considered by the Nominating Task Force, along with others who apply. Any dues paying member of LitvakSIG in good standing is eligible to submit a nomination, either for themselves or for someone else.

All nominations to the board must include the nominee's biographical statement and a summary of what they can contribute to the Board. This information should be submitted to each of the five members of the Nominating Task Force.

There is no limit as to the number of nominees submitted to the Nominating Task Force. However, only three nominees will be recommended by the Task Force. The report of the Task Force shall include the qualifications of each candidate nominated.

The recommendation of the Nominating Task Force is final, but our Bylaws provide that any qualified candidates who are not recommended, will be able to nominate themselves, and have their biographical statements and summary of what they can contribute to the Board, added to the web site and have their names placed on the ballot.

The voting will take place primarily by e-mail during the weeks before the IAJGS Conference on Jewish Genealogy, meeting in Los Angeles in July.

Dues-paying members who do not vote before the meeting will have the opportunity to vote in person at the Conference during the LitvakSIG Annual meeting on Wednesday, July 14, 2010.

The period for submitting nominations will begin Monday, April 18, 2010 and end as of midnight New York time, on Tuesday, May 25, 2010. The Nominating Task Force will announce their recommended board member nominees, on or before June 2, as per Article VIII, Section 2 of the LitvakSIG Bylaws.

After June 2, any member of LitvakSIG may nominate one or more additional candidates for election as directors of the corporation by submitting to the secretary of LitvakSIG, Sally Mizroch, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
