2008 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Board of Directors and President-Elect
.................................................................................

CLEAR wishes to solicit nominations for 2008-2010 members of its Board of Directors as well as for the position of 2008-2009 President-Elect. 

Two board seats and the office of president-elect will be available in September 2008. One incumbent is eligible to run for re-election to their current board seat. The President and the Immediate Past President will continue on the board, as will six members whose terms expire in September 2009. 

A potential nominee must be both willing and able to serve. Board member terms are for a period of two years and eligible board members may stand for re-election to one additional two-year term. 

CLEAR's Board of Directors meets at least twice a year in various North American locations. Expenses for attending these meetings as well as any other expenses incurred as a result of the office are borne by the individuals or the agencies/organizations they represent. 

Among the criteria you should consider when nominating yourself or someone else for office are knowledge of occupational and professional regulation, commitment to the goals and programs of CLEAR, service to CLEAR, demonstrated leadership, and demonstrated ability to commit the necessary time and expense. You should also review the complete list of CLEAR Leadership Duties.

To make a nomination for either President-Elect or for service on the Board of Directors, please send the nominee's name, title, address, telephone/fax numbers and e-mail address, along with a brief candidate resume, to Adam Parfitt at aparfitt@clearhq.org, via mail to c/o CLEAR, 403 Marquis Avenue, Suite 200, Lexington, Kentucky, 40502 or fax to 859-231-1943. Please indicate whether the nomination is for board service or the office of President-Elect. Proposed candidates will be contacted regarding their willingness to serve. 

To allow sufficient time for preparation of mail ballots, nominations must be received at CLEAR headquarters by close of business on Friday, June 27, 2008.
