From: "Colin Godfrey" Subject: SIGGRAPH/Boston elections: Please Run! Date: Friday, June 14, 2002 11:51 AM Dear SIGGRAPH/Boston members and friends, We will reach the end of our season with our final event this July 10, 2002, at MERL. This is also the end of the 2-year term of office for our current slate of officers. At this meeting, we will be holding elections for the new slate of officers in addition to our speakers' presentations. Our chapter's process for electing new officers begins with my appointing 3 people to the nominating committee. These committee members will look for and meet with anyone interested in becoming an officer for the next term. This year's nominating committee will be Olin Lathrop, Bob Lamm, and Hans Peter Pfister. The open officer positions are: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. Over the next weeks, this committee will make a recommendation for the next term's slate of officers. This recommendation will be shared with the chapter in preparation for our elections to be held at the July 10 event. If anyone is interested in one of the officer positions, please contact Olin Lathrop. He can be reached at (978) 742-9014, olin@embedinc.com. I strongly encourage any and all members and friends to think about becoming involved with our chapter as an officer. It has been a great experience for me. Although these elections are focused on our next slate of officers, I also encourage our members and friends to volunteer to help out in others ways as well. We will be holding a planning meeting this summer to get together with everyone who is interested in being involved with the chapter, so watch your email for details. There are a number of interesting events in the works for next year, but we always need more ideas, and people who can help make them happen. If anyone is interested in volunteering in general, you can contact me at (978) 698-7422, brent.coullard@inforonics.com. Come be involved! Brent Coullard Chair SIGGRAPH/Boston professional chapter
