Nominees by Petition Sought for CRA Board

By CRA

The Computing Research Association seeks your help in suggesting nominations for its Board of Directors. We seek individuals who have time, energy, initiative, and resources to work on CRA issues on behalf of the entire CRA community. Ours is a working board, and all members are expected to work on community issues.

On December 18, 2014, the CRA Elections Committee announced its slate of nominees for a seat on the Board of Directors. CRA encourages nominations by petition as well. Petition nominations signed by the Designated Voting Representatives of at least five Constituent Member Organizations that are current in dues payment will be accepted until February 6, 2015.

A complete nomination package for petition candidates must reach CRA via e-mail (elections [@] cra.org) no later than February 6, 2015. E-mail submissions as Word attachments or in straight ASCII text are preferred. Separately, each of the five supporters of the petition should send an e-mail to elections@cra.org simply stating their support for the petition candidate to run for a seat on the CRA Board of Directors.
