The Nominating process began on November 23, 2018, with a letter to 202 members. A second random se- lection was made out of the thirty (30) members interested, with the first fifteen (15) forming the 2018/19 Nominating Committee. An organizational meeting was held on December 11, 2018, to conduct the first order of business. This year, there were four incumbent Board members who were eligible, two of whom decided to run for a second term. Nine (9) interviews were conducted over a 3-day period with all having impressive backgrounds. Deliberation was held after the final interview and five candidates were nominated by the re- quired 2/3 majority vote of the Nominating Committee. The candidates nominated by the Nominating Com- mittee were:

Robert Scherer

Herbert Selzer

Ethel Schultz

Krista Nicklaus

Brett Handler

The nominating process also allows for forty members in good standing of the Association who are not on the Nominating Committee to also nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Governors by petition. The petition process ended on February 5, 2019, with two petitions filed nominating Martin Cohen and Kevin Kramp.

Martin Cohen

I would like to thank the Nominating Committee and Executive Assistant Linda George for their time and ded- ication to this year’s nominating process.
