Report on the activities of the ACH 2003 Nominating Committee

The committee was composed of:

• Chuck Bush
• Nancy Kushigian
• Geoffrey Rockwell (chair)
• Natasha Smith
• John Unsworth (ex officio)

This year's Committee faced another "big" election and was charged with finding nominees for President, Vice President, and 3 Executive members positions.

We have nominated two candidates for the president and vice-president positions each, and eight candidates for three upcoming vacancies on the Executive Council. We experienced a slight problem with finding a second candidate for the vice-president position, as several nominees declined to stand for VP (or against Julia's candidacy...)

The slate was as follows:

• For President:
  • Lorna Hughes
  • Mark Olsen
• For Vice-President:
  • Julia Flanders
  • Edward Vanhoutte
• Executive:
  • Miranda Remnek
  • Stefan Sinclair
  • Ross Scaife
  • Ray Siemens
  • David Gants
  • Stephen Ramsay
  • Chris Ruoto
  • Susan Brown

Elections' results are well known:

• Lorna Hughes - President
• Julia Flanders - Vice-President
• Ray Siemens
• Stefan Sinclair
• Steve Ramsay

The election has been managed by Chuck Bush. The Committee's business was handled through a listserv achnom@lists.village.virginia.edu and a password-protected archive on lists.village.virginia.edu
