Any
ASHI Member in good standing may be nominated to any
office.Self-nominations are permitted, and all nominees must agree to

all nominations include a completed Matrix for Evaluating Nominees. The
official revised matrix is available on ashi.org in the “ASHI

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 the above matrix
issues. Headquarters will verify the nominees’ status as ASHI Members
in good standing.

Nominations will close Aug. 31, 2003 and all
nomination information will be distributed to the members of the
Nominating Committees.

Ballots will be mailed to the Members by Oct. 31, 2003 and the election will close Nov. 30, 2003.

will be counted the first week in December and election results will be
published in the Jan. 2004 issue of the ASHI Reporter.
