Enclosed is a list of Board and Nominating Committee members whose terms shall expire at the 2000 Annual Election to be held on January 11, 2000.

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 2000 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 12, 2000. The results shall be circulated before the Annual Meeting in February.

NFA is a membership organization. NFA Members have a voice in NFA's governance through the exercise of the right to suggest candidates and to nominate and elect individuals to serve on NFA's Nominating Committee and Board of Directors. 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 20, 1999.
