The process is as follows: The Nominating Committee certifies the candidates that are qualified to
stand for office. The declarations are sent to the Editor of The Graybeards for publication in
the March-April edition, or earlier. The ballots are published in only the March-April edition. Members
then cast their ballots by June 10th, wherein a CPA counts the ballots and reports to the Nominating
Committee. This is a terrific opportunity to participate in the management and future direction of the
organization. We hope we’ll see a spirited competition for the slots available.
Bill Hutton, National Secretary
