We're looking for a few good men and women to serve on the APG Board. But, despite a request for recommendations issued over a month ago, the nominating committee has not received enough suggestions to create a slate.
As members of APG, you have the right to make a recommendation and let the committee choose a slate for you to vote upon later this year. Wouldn't you like to provide some input on APG's direction? You can submit your own name or that of a colleague. We all know fellow members who could make valuable contributions to our
organization. APG currently has 2,400 members. There are plenty of candidates in that number and plenty of members to make recommendations. Dozens of your colleagues are simply waiting for someone to flatter them with a recommendation.
All you need to do is send your recommendations to admin@apgen.org (details below) and we will see if they’re willing to be nominated and, if elected, serve. We know there are many hidden gems among the membership, so think outside the box, and quickly, so the nominating committee can move the process forward.
Please read the original "call" below for details. Thank you for considering this request.
