As my year as president is half over, Vice President Julie Gammon is preparing for spring committee appointments. The Nominations and Elections Committee, chaired by Martin Gordon, has completed the slate for officer and board elections and is preparing the upcoming ballot. The N&E Committee members rate the nominees based on the data they provide the committee on a candidate profile sheet. Nominees are evaluated on: level of commitment to NASIG, which can earn up to 40 points; other relevant professional activities, garnering up to another 20 points; and the position statement from the candidate profile form, which also can earn a nominee up to 20 points. The Past President, as Board liaison to the N&E Committee. serves as advisor to the committee but does not actually participate in the ratings process. Cindy Hepfer. as Past President, shared with me the good news that many strong candidates were willing to be considered this year. Three individuals agreed to be considered for Vice PresidenVPresident Elect (PresidenVPast President), four were considered for Treasurer, and some twenty-one were willing to be considered for Member-at-Large. On behalf of NASIG, I hope you will all accept my heartfelt gratitude for your interest in NASIGs future and your past and present service. Those selected for the ballot and those who were not selected this time represent the dedication and volunteerism that makes NASIG unique. Since the committee deliberations are confidential, I cannot thank those of you who are unsuccessful nominees individually, but I can assure each of you that NASIG is deeply grateful for your service and interest. W U A l CONFFRFNCFS; Simultaneousd i i e s associated with four annual conferences are another major reason for the multiple year view. No one person can keep everything going, and as President, I depend on the Chairs and Board Liaisons of each group. At this time, the proceedings of the 1994 Vancouver conference are nearing publication. The Board is delighted that our editors, Beth Holley and Mary Ann Sheble, will serve another term, and our new indexer, Bob Persing, has been informed that a draft has been sent to him for indexing. It is also time to rebid the publishing rights for at least the 1995 and 1996 conferences, and Bob chairs the newly charged p r o c e e u Publisher Task Force. Connie Foster serves as Board Liaison for the Editors and the Task Force. Planners for the 1995 Duke conference are racing to meet the deadline for printing the brochure. Conference Planning Committee Chair Marcia Tuttle and Board Liaison Jim Mouw will present a final budget in time for Boardlist discussion and approval of registration rates by January 15th, and the committee is writing and editing text describing local attractions and registration instructions. The Program Planning Committee, chaired by Bobbie Carlson and Michele Crump and coached by Board Liaison Julie Gammon, is finalizing the last few speakers and workshop presenters, revising the speaker expense budget, collecting and editing abstracts, and confirming the schedule for the same deadline. Having lived (suffered?) through this process for four years, I appreciate the enormous amount of work required during the winter holiday season to allow printing and distribution of the conference brochure in February. The brand-new Conference Planning Committee co-chairs for the 1996 conference at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque have just been appointed. Site selection chair Fran Wilkinson and member Joan Griffin will cochair the committee and are in the process of recruiting members. This experiment with moving up the timetable for their work to make it a less stressful experience will create valuable procedures for successive groups. Julie Gammon, who served as Site Selection Board Liaison, will continue as acting liaison until the spring election. It is also time to begin planning for the 1997 conference. At the November Board meeting, we approved establishing Site Selection Committees for Minnesota, Mich (...truncated)
