Call for IACP Nominations, due Dec. 31, 2007

Dear members of the International Association for China Planning,

Happy New Year!

This is the reminder of call for nominations for four new members of the IACP Board of Directors.

1. You may nominate up to 2 non-student members and 2 student members of the IACP, including yourself. Please include all nominations in a single email to iacp2007@gmail.com.

Note in order to be eligible to nominate and/or to be nominated, you must be an active IACP member. That is, your membership dues must be received by Dec. 31, 2007 before the vote begins. (See http://www.chinaplanning.org/application.htm for details about joining IACP or paying IACP dues)

There is no need for any supporting statements in the nomination email, unless you also wish to submit a ballot statement at that time (see below).

A brief description for each of the positions will be sent out to all members by email, and posted on the IACP website (http://www.chinaplanning.org/Position_Duty.htm).

2. Eligible nominees must be endorsed by at least 2 other IACP members (you may endorse yourself if you are not self nominated), willing to serve IACP, and submit a ballot statement of no more than 150 words by 11:59 pm on Dec. 31. Please note the endorsements must be sent by other IACP members to the mentioned email address (iacp2007@gmail.com).

(The elections committee will, as necessary, confirm willingness to serve and obtain ballot statements.)

3. Student members are especially encouraged to run because 2 among the 4 positions are for students (again, you must become an active IACP student member to be eligible to nominate and/or to be nominated).

4. A ballot of all candidates will be distributed on Jan. 1st, 2008 with separate instructions for voting.

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to Zhan Guo at guozhan@MIT.EDU or to iacp2007@gmail.com.

We encourage all interested members to consider running for a position on the IACP Board and serving the IACP members.
