1991 Nominations Siate
Richard Devin, Nominating Committee Chair
ith the publication of the nominated
WY slate of USITT officers for 1991, it�?Ts
appropriate to remind the members
that, since the last election, a By-Laws amend-
ment has established two changes to the process:
(1) The committee on nominations may now
place more than one name in nomination for one
or more office when they find that appropriately
qualified and willing candidates have been iden-
tified, and,
(2) The committee shall present to the mem-
bers a slate of 12 candidates to fill six member-at-
large positions.
As chair of nominations, I believe it is impor-
tant to inform the membership that, although
several additional members were solicited for
inclusion on the nominated slate, the ballot in-
cludes only one name for each office. Although
two nominees mentioned personal or profes-
sional reasons for declining, many of those con-
tacted, though willing to serve, indicated that
they felt the incumbent officer was doing excel-
lent work and that they would not wish to chal-
lenge if the incumbent agreed to be placed in
nomination.
Additional nominations for each elective of-
fice may be presented by petition, supported by
no fewer than fifty (50) signatures verified as
those of members in good standing in the Corpo-
ration. Additional nominations shall be accom-
panied by written approval of the nominee anda
brief biographical description. Petitions must
reach the Chair of Nominations, Richard Devin,
Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Box 261, Univer-
sity of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0261 by 1
November 1990.
Nominees for all offices and directorships shall
have been Individual or Student members of the
Institute or the individual designated as the voting
representative of an Organizational, Sustaining
or Contributing membership for at least one (1)
year as of September 1 of the year of their nomi-
nation.
