Credentials Committee Report

by Marilyn Taggi Cisar & Stewart Chuber, Co-Chairs

As you receive this newsletter we are rapidly approaching the time for the annual meeting of the House of Delegates. Finally, it's time for the Credentials Committee to do some real work!

Just a reminder, from the Bylaws ...

"Vacancies in office, or alternates for Delegates unable to attend meetings of the House of Delegates may be filled or obtained from among the candidates not receiving a sufficient number of votes for election, and in order of the total number of votes received. In the event alternates for Delegates are not available from the candidates described above, then the members of a United States Affiliated Society or an International Region who are Association members may appoint alternate Delegates for said meeting. The names of these appointed alternate Delegates must be received in writing by the Headquarters office of the Association at least fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting of the House of Delegates for which they are appointed."

Or in other words, if you as a Delegate can't attend the meeting in Houston and an "elected" alternate cannot take your place, make sure you notify the office in Tulsa at least 15 days before the March 10, 2002 meeting with the name of an appointed alternate taking your place. Generally, in the larger delegations, it is the responsibility of the group chair to provide the list of appointed alternates as necessary.

We look forward to seeing you 'behind the ropes" at the annual meeting at the Doubletree Hotel at Allen Center in downtown Houston, on Sunday morning, March 10, 2002. Come early, enjoy the continental breakfast and avoid the check-in lines just before the meeting starts. Delegate registration begins at 7:00 a.m.
