May 2008 A Call for Nominations To all NFADB members: The National Family Association for Deaf-Blind has open positions on its Board of Directors. We are looking for a few people to join our Board of Directors to represent families that have children of any age that are deaf-blind. Nominees must be a Regular member in good standing of NFADB for at least one year. The positions of President and Treasurer are also up for re-election this year. Only current board or past board members may run for these Executive Committee positions. An appointed term lasts for two years and board members may run again for another 2 years or for an Executive Committee position. NFADB is the largest national network of families focusing on issues surrounding deaf-blindness. The mission of NFADB is to empower the voices of families of individuals who are deaf-blind and to advocate for their unique needs. A board member will stay connected with professional organizations, Congressional Representatives and Senators. Board members will sit on or chair at least one working committee and will help to expand our State Affiliates Program. We are looking for serious candidates that believe they can help our organization make a difference in the lives of all families dealing with deaf-blindness. Candidates may come from any state. For more information or to nominate yourself or someone you know for the position of Board Member or President or Treasurer, please contact Sheri Stanger at SheriMEd@aol.com or at (914)478-7248 by May 27, 2008. An application will then be mailed to you and you will need to participate in a phone interview and send in 3 letters of recommendation by the end of June 2008. The appointments will take place in July 2008. Thank you for your interest and for your continued support of the National Family Association for Deaf-Blind. Sincerely, Sheri Stanger, Immediate Past President Nominations Committee |
