The NABE Board wants you...

Believe it or not, the deadline for filing petitions for the 2002-2003 Board of Directors is less than four months away. In January, the chair of the elections committee will be soliciting candidates for the following offices:

• Vice President — One year term (The vice president automatically becomes president-elect in 2003 and president in 2004). In order to be eligible for vice-president, candidates must have served at least one term on the Board of Directors and must be employed at a local bar association.

• Secretary — One year term. The secretary takes the meeting minutes of NABE and board of directors meetings.

• State Bar Director — Two-year term. The state bar director represents its constituents from state bar associations at all board of directors meetings.
  
  
• Local Bar Director— Two-year term. The local bar director represents its constituents from local bar associations at all board of directors meetings.
  
  
• Director-at-Large— Two-year term. The director-at-large acts as a constituent for all bar associations at board of directors meetings.

The NABE Board of Directors meets five times each year: twice at the Annual Meeting, once in the fall, once at Midyear Meeting and once in the spring. It’s not too early to consider becoming a candidate for one of these positions on the board. If you have questions or need more information about the election or positions available, please contact Shelley Joksimovic, NABE Staff Director at (312) 988-5354 or joksimos@staff.abanet.org.
