Althoughtwo nominees mentioned personal or profes-sional reasons for declining, many of those con-tacted, though willing to serve, indicated thatthey 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 innomination.Additional nominations for each elective of-fice may be presented by petition, supported byno fewer than fifty (50) signatures verified asthose of members in good standing in the Corpo-ration. Additional nominations shall be accom-panied by written approval of the nominee andabrief biographical description.
