I will begin posting the candidates' applications this evening to help members get to know the candidates. Candidates are also free to put up a "campaign" page if they wish to, although this is not a regular election, but rather is a preference poll.

Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 19:55:12 -0400 To all USGenWeb Project members: **Please forward to all USGenWeb Members and lists.** The USGenWeb Election Committee is looking for six volunteers who would like to serve on the committee. The "job" includes developing a working relationship with Project members, SCs, and/or Archives personnel to maintain current Project Membership and Registration Lists, and to assist in all polls and elections, especially during the months of June and July when the EC hosts the USGenWeb Project's Annual Election. Volunteers will have the satisfaction of joining an excellent team to handle a difficult and important responsibility. The following seats are currently open: *Northeast North Central Region - Two Year Term January 1, 2005 -December 31, 2006 *Northwest Plains Region - Two Year Term January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2006 *Southwest South Central Region - Replacement One Year Replacement Term January 1, 2005 December 31, 2005 *Archives/Special Projects - One Year Replacement Term January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2005 *Archives/Special Projects - Two Year Term January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2006 *RAL (Representative At Large) - Two Year Term January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2006 NOTE: You do *not* have to be a member in any of the above regions or projects to be eligible to serve in a particular seat. Final determination of placement will be made by the EC. Any member of the USGW Project who is eligible to register to vote is eligible for membership in the EC, the exception being that no Advisory Board member may serve as a working member of the EC. An EC member who is elected to national office may continue to serve on the EC until seated on the AB. Members do not have to be registered to serve. The EC is looking for team players who will check and respond to mail daily, and recognize the confidentiality aspects of the work. This is a busy but harmonious committee, and the work is very rewarding! If you are interested in volunteering, please send a note to: Ellen Pack <e.j.pack@natchezbelle.org> with the subject line, "Volunteer EC". Please include a brief description of your current USGW participation, including URLs of any sites you maintain, plus any other information you would like the EC to have. Selected volunteers will be included on a slate that is presented to the Advisory Board for confirmation. The process can take awhile, so please be patient :-) More information about the EC is available at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/ Thank you for your time, and please consider volunteering!
