The NYSSPE Nominating Committee is currently seeking recommendations for officer candidates for the 2011-2012 Administrative Year. This is your opportunity to provide the Nominating Committee with recommendations for the future leadership of our Professional Society and is one of the most important tasks you will be requested to participate in as a member of NYSSPE.

If you are personally interested in being considered for an office, please do not hesitate to make your interest known. If you are an incumbent, please state your desire to seek re-election unless, of course, you have served the maximum number of terms allowed by the Constitution.

A form requesting detailed biographical information will be sent to all recommended candidates so it is not necessary for you to provide that information when recommending someone. However, it would be helpful to the Committee if you could provide one or two paragraphs outlining why you feel someone is particularly worthy of consideration.

Recommended candidates will be asked to submit a narrative in support of their candidacy. They may also be asked to answer questions and provide responses to the Nominating Committee by a date to be determined. Their answers will help the Nominating Committee in their deliberations.

Recommendations for candidates must arrive at NYSSPE Headquarters no later than the close of business on OCTOBER 1, 2010. Earlier submissions will be appreciated. Please use the below form for your recommendations.

Important items for you to remember as you consider candidates for recommendation to the Regional Vice Presidents and Nominating Committee are:

* All Vice Presidents are NOT eligible for 2011-2012 re-elections, just those indicated on the nomination form.

* The Nominating Committee cannot nominate any of its members for an office but it can nominate one of its members for continuity. Only one member of the Nominating Committee can be nominated to a second term for continuity.

* Resignation of a Nominating Committee member, from the Committee, in order to seek nomination to an officership does not make that person eligible for nomination to an officer position.
A list of the current officers, as well as the Nominating Committee is below for your information and referral.

Seek out your candidates NOW! Submit your recommendations to NYSSPE Headquarters so they arrive by the end of business on OCTOBER 1, 2010, OR SOONER if possible. They can be emailed to Jennifer Miller at jamiller@nysspe.org or faxed to 518-283-7495.
