NFA Announces 1996 Nominating Committee Recommendations
In accordance with Bylaw 406, the Office of the Secretary has
received from the 1996 Nominating Committee a list of its nominees
for positions on NFA's Board of Directors and 1997 Nominating
Committee. The list of nominees included with this notice shall
serve as notification to NFA Members of the candidates proposed
by the 1996 Nominating Committee.
Other nominations may be made by petition. Article VII, Section
3(b) of NFA's Articles of Incorporation provides that:
"Nominations may be made for elected Director positions by:
Petition signed by 50 or more NFA Members* in the category for
which the nomination is made (i.e., FCM and LTM, IB, CPO, and
CTA); or Petition submitted by any organization or association
recognized by NFA as fairly representing the category ... for
which the nomination is made.
Petitions shall be submitted in the manner specified by the Bylaws.
No petition may nominate more than one candidate for the same
position."
Article X, Section 3 of NFA's Articles of Incorporation similarly
permits nominations for the Nominating Committee by petition.
NFA Bylaw 406 requires that each petition identify the position
to which the nomination permits, and that all petitions must be
received by the Secretary within 21 days of the date of this Notice.
If you wish to submit additional nominations by petition, please
make sure that petition candidates meet both the category and
regional requirements of Article VI, VII & X, and that such
petitions are received by the Secretary on or before November
7, 1996. Petitions received after that date will not be considered.
Petitions should be forwarded to:
