The Polls Are Open!

Fellows are reminded to cast their ballots for the 2005 CAS elections. Fellows who registered for online voting can cast their ballot through the CAS Web Site. On August 1 the CAS Office mailed the paper ballot package to Fellows who did not register for online voting.

Thomas G. Myers is the candidate for president-elect. Candidates for director positions include Irene K. Bass, Brian Z. Brown, Clive L. Keatinge, Donald F. Mango, Glenn G. Meyers, Roosevelt C. Mosley, Arlie J. Proctor, and Kenneth Quintilian.

Fellows can visit the "Meet the Candidates" section to learn about the candidates. Candidates provided a one-page biography, an additional page of relevant biographical information, a short statement entitled "Why I Want to Serve," and a brief statement identifying their positions on issues of special interest to them.

In the "Open Question Forum," which was open July 1-15, Fellows were able to pose questions to candidates. At the close of the forum, candidates had one week to respond to questions. A link to the questions and responses was posted in the "Meet the Candidates" section.

Completed ballots must be submitted online or returned to the CAS Office by September 1, 2005. The 2005 Nominating Committee is composed of the two most recent past presidents-Gail Ross (chairperson) and Mary Frances Miller; one past board member-Janet Fagan; and four members, two who have been Fellows for at least ten years-Ann M. Conway and Michael L. Toothman-and two who have been Fellows for less than ten years-Dale S. Porfilio and Chester John Szczepanski.
