I want to urge my fellow NANFA members to consider running for the Board of Directors this and future terms. NANFA needs qualified and spirited individuals to help with NANFA's direction and operation. Please take the time to consider running and contact Dustin Smith (forum member name "Dustin") with a nominee or yourself as a nominee. Elections will be held this winter for positions described below. Thanks for reading please remember that NANFA is only as good as it's members and it's Board of Directors will always benefit from an active group of interested people.
Board nominees wanted for 2010-2011 term
Board seats currently held by Sajjad Lateef (replacing Andrew Gunthorpe), Fritz Rohde, Jeremy Tiemann and Uland Thomas are open for the 2010-2011 term. Any member may nominate his or her self to serve on NANFA's Board of Directors, or may nominate a fellow member as long as that member accepts the nomination. A nominee must meet two qualifications:
1) A nominee should ideally have demonstrated his or her ability and interest in the management of NANFA and/or the promotion or advancement of its objectives. Ability and interest can be measured by participation in one or more NANFA duties and/or programs, including but not limited to: serving as a Regional Representative or Contact; writing articles for American Currents, or helping with its editing, design, printing, and/or mailing; helping maintain or manage NANFA's e-mail lists, treasury or database; moderating or otherwise helping to manage the NANFA Forum; contributing to NANFA's Web site and/or helping manage it; helping with annual election mailings and vote counting; hosting or helping the host(s) of an annual convention, regional meeting or collecting trip; promoting NANFA and/or its objectives by writing articles for outside media, or by giving presentations at or leading trips for aquarium clubs, nature centers, schools, and other venues; by setting up or maintaining educational native fish aquaria; and by providing counsel to the Board.
