This is Leatha Harding-Berry with the APFA National Ballot Committee.

Today, January 31, 2005, the National Ballot Committee picked up Willingness-to-Serve Notifications for the positions of Ad Hoc Members of the Executive Committee Place #1 and Place #2. We received notifications from IMA based member Stephen Carter and IDF based member George Price.

Additional Willingness-to Serve Notifications may be returned to APFA Secretary, Greg Hildreth or the National Ballot Committee anytime prior to the start of the Annual Convention. Nomination Envelopes containing copies of all Willingness-to-Serve Notifications that have been returned to APFA will be distributed to the Board of Directors and Executive Committee when the Convention is first called to order on March 14, 2005. No other Notifications will be accepted by APFA after the Convention is called to order.
