Nominations should be submitted to Barbara Devaney, Chair, APPAM Nominating committee, c/o the

nominations via email at nominations2008@appam.org.
All nominations will be given the fullest consideration. Please note the following details:
- The deadline for nominations is July 25, 2008. This deadline is to allow the Nominating Committee to
complete its work by the end of September. APPAM plans to announce the ballot at least one month prior to the Annual
Membership Meeting scheduled for November 7 in Los Angeles, CA. According to the APPAM bylaws, members have the right to
nominate additional persons to the ballot if 25 members support that action. The July deadline for nominations will allow
members to exercise that right at the Annual Membership Meeting.

member must be accompanied by a c.v./resume. Self-nominations are encouraged.
- Nominations of persons other than yourself should be accompanied by contact information for the
