Call for nominations


2007 ASHI Officers

Attention ASHI Members: Nominations currently are being accepted for the Society Officer positions of President-Elect, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer for 2007.

Any ASHI Member in good standing may be nominated to any office. Self-nominations are permitted, and all nominees must agree to serve if elected. ASHI Nominating and Election Guidelines require that all nominations include a completed Matrix for Evaluating Nominees. The official revised matrix is available on ashi.org in the Documents section in Members Extranet. The matrix also can be obtained by contacting HQ or on Fax-on-Demand.

A petition of 10 percent of ASHI Members in good standing can cause the name of a qualified ASHI Member to be added to the ballot for a specific office.

As nominations are received at Headquarters, the staff will verify that all nominees have agreed to serve and have submitted the necessary background information, including a response to all matrix questions. Headquarters will verify the nominees’
status as ASHI Members in good standing.

Nominations will close Aug. 15, 2006, and all nomination information will be distributed to the members of the Nominating Committees.

Ballots will be mailed to the Members by Oct. 31, 2006, and the election will close Nov. 30, 2006.

Ballots will be counted the first week in December and election results will be published in the January 2007 issue of the ASHI Reporter.
Comments and questions about the nomination process are welcome. Please contact ASHI Headquarters.
