(Please forward as appropriate) So far two applicants have expressed interest in the Northwest/Plains vacancies: Gail Meyer Kilgore and Sharyl Ferrall, both of IAGenWeb. Can we hear from some of the other states? There are two vacancies on the Advisory Board to replace the Northwest Plains County Coordinator Representatives who resigned. The persons selected to fill these vacancies will serve until the next regular election. Candidates must have at least one year (the twelve months immediately preceding appointment) of continuous service as a Local Coordinator within the NW/P region and current activity as a member in good standing, and eligibility to vote within The USGenWeb Project. Interested volunteers should submit a brief letter stating their qualifications and reasons for wanting to serve to the National Coordinator IsaiahH@cox.net. Applications will be accepted through Monday, May 12, 2003. At that time applications will be turned over to the Election Committee who will conduct a preference poll of the NW/P voters. Results of the poll will be turned over to the Advisory Board to aid them in the selection process. -Isaiah Richard "Isaiah" Harrison National Coordinator The USGenWeb Project
