Nominations for Western, Midwestern and International Regions

Complete the form below to nominate IAPSP members for consideration in the election to fill open regional slots on the International Council of IAPSP for the Western, Midwestern and International regions.

There are 5 positions to be filled in the Western region: Bernie Brandchaft, Mort Shane, and Mary Gales Shane have resigned their Council seats; Judy Pickles and Joye Weisel-Barth have three year terms which are expiring at the October, 2008, conference. There are 3 positions to be filled in the Midwest region: Peter Buirski, Amy Eldridge, and Sandra Kiersky have three year terms which expire in October. There are 5 positions to be filled in the International region, all for people who have resigned from the Council: Russell Meares, Rosemary Tredgold, Irwin Bartosch, Sigmund Karterud, and Henry Szor. All current Council members whose three year terms are expiring are eligible to be nominated and re-elected for another three year term. In planning your nominations, you may want to note that Susi Federici-Nebbiosi, currently a member-at-large, has a three year term which is expiring and is eligible for re-election either in these regional elections or in the member-at-large elections which will follow. The remaining members-at-large are from the Easter region, in which there are no current openings. Therefore they are eligible for re-election in the member-at-large election only. These Council members with expiring terms include: Doris Brothers, Steven Knoblauch, Dorienne Sorter, and Judy Teicholz.

• Nominations are now requested for candidates to fill positions on the Council in the Western, Midwestern and International regions.
