Dear TDWG community

The Executive Committee of TDWG will have to be elected at the General meeting 2011 in New Orleans. We are accepting nominations from now until Saturday the 15th of October. Before nominating someone, make sure she or he is aware of the nomination and is willing to take over the activity should she/he be elected.

All positions (including co-opted members) on the Executive http://www.tdwg.org/about-tdwg/executive/ must be voted upon each year, so are open to nomination.

Names, affiliation and contact details of the nominated individuals, plus a summary of their qualifications and their motivations to be part of the TDWG Executive should be sent no later than the 15th of October 2 PM (New Orleans time) to secretary@TDWG.org http://secretary@tdwg.org/

Anyone may nominate potential members of the Executive, but only those who have paid their 2011 membership dues (or paid full registration fees) may vote.

Thanks you in advance for your collaboration

Patricia Mergen General Secretary of TDWG on behalf of the Executive Committee"
