NOMINATIONS FOR 2003 SELA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Nominating Committee has approved the following nominations of members to serve on the SELA Board of Directors for the terms specified. The slate of nominees is presented for vote by the membership present at the business luncheon on August 23, 2003. The office of President and Immediate Past-President are automatic and no election is necessary.

Those nominated are:

Officers (Nominated for a one-year term)

Board of Directors Nominees

For a Two-year term expiring in 2005

Diane Becker, RN, ScD, MPH, Baltimore, MD

For a Three-year Board term expiring in 2006

Jerilyn Allen, RN, ScD, FAAN, Baltimore, MD
Dean Bramlet, M.D., St. Petersburg, FL
Betsy LaForge, MPH, RD, Durham, NC
Dan Wise, M.D., Matthews, NC

As an ex-officio (non-voting) member, the Nominating Committee would like to add Himanshu Gupta, M.D. as an "in-training" representative to the Board of Directors. This is not a formal position but one, which the nominating committee believes would add value to the society in its mission.

The Board of Directors also wishes to thank those members of the Board who are rotating off the Board of Directors due to term expirations this year.

James McKenney, PharmD, Richmond, VA
Franklin Zieve, M.D., PhD, Richmond, VA

Lastly, I wish to thank the other members of the nominating committee for their service. John Guyton, MD, Maria Lopes-Virella, MD, Vera Bittner, MD and Barbara Flethcher, RN, MN, FAAN.
