NFA Bylaw 406 provides that before October 15 of each year, NFA's Secretary shall notify all Members in the FCM, IB, CPO and CTA categories of the elected Directors and the members of the Nominating Committee whose terms shall expire at the Annual Election and shall request that the names of eligible persons to fill those positions be submitted to the Nominating Committee. Enclosed is a list of Board and Nominating Committee members whose terms shall expire at the 1999 Annual Election to be held on January 12, 1999.

Also enclosed is a form for your use in submitting names of persons eligible to fill the vacancies on the Board of Directors and the 1999 Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee shall consider names which are submitted and the Membership shall be notified of its nominations. Thereafter, additional nominations may be made by petition only. Ballots shall be mailed in December to all Members in categories for which there is a contested election and the ballots will be counted on January 13, 1999. The results shall be circulated before the Annual Meeting in February.

The Nominating Committee relies heavily on the suggestions of the Membership in making its nominating decisions. Please give this matter serious consideration and return your submission(s) to NFA no later than August 21, 1998.
