GLBA NOMINATION ANNOUNCEMENT

The Great Lakes Beach Association is soliciting nominations for individuals
to stand for election to four (4) positions on the Elected
Board.  A document describing the structure and organization of the
GLBA, and the role of Elected Board members can be found here.
We seek nominees who can represent any of the following categories: research
and academia; local, state, federal (US or Canada), tribal beach regulation
or beach management; and health departments/public health.  Once the
new Elected Board is constituted, one of the Elected Board members will
be elected to serve as President of the GLBA (see GLBA Administration PDF).
 Therefore, nominees who run for office should be prepared for the
possibility of serving as President of the GLBA. 

Solicitation for nominations will be open until February
6.  Self-nominations are encouraged.
 Nominations should be sent to Krystalynn Frohnapple (kfrohnapple@usgs.gov).
 Once all of the nominations have been gathered, the candidates for
GLBA Board membership will be asked to send a description of their background
and interests to Krystalynn to be posted to the GLBA website for consideration
by the GLBA membership. 

Elections will be held the
week of February 16.  Votes
can be sent in an email to Krystalynn with the subject line "My Vote".
 Votes will be kept confidential and will be summarized by an independent
party.  Announcements of new Board members will be made the
week of February 23.  

Thank you,
