NAG Elections 2008
You are invited to submit a nomination for election to
the NAG Executive Committee.
The NAG Constitution provides for a Committee of
twelve members. Of these at least one, and not more than four, shall be
from each of the following employment categories: academic libraries, public
libraries, other libraries or information units, publishing, and library supply
(materials, data or systems). Committee members are elected for a three
year term.
There are three places available on the Committee to
serve, in the first instance, for three years from 1st November
2008. Those elected can be from any employment category as listed
above. However, given the affiliations of the current Committee, newly
elected members may not on this occasion exceed a maximum within each category
of: two public librarians, two publishers, two suppliers, two academic
librarians, or three from other libraries or information units.
Valid nominations require a proposer (who may be the
nominee) a seconder and the counter-signature of the nominee. All
parties must be in current membership of NAG, either personal or
institutional. Nominations must be made on the appropriate form or in an
electronic copy available from [log in to unmask].
All nominations must be received by post, fax or email, addressed to the
Secretary at the address shown above, not later than Friday 18th
July 2008.
Where nominations
are submitted by fax or email, a hard copy with original signatures must be
submitted before the announcement of the election result at the Annual General
Meeting on Wednesday 10th September 2008.
If the number of nominations exceeds the number of
vacancies (overall and/or in any individual category) elections will be
conducted by postal ballot of members (as at 4th July 2008.)
Full details of the procedure will accompany ballot papers. There will be one
vote per membership subscription. If insufficient prior nominations are
received, nominations for the unfilled vacancies will be sought from the floor
at the AGM on September 10th 2008.
Nominees are asked
to send brief biographical details (250 words or less) and a photograph.
These should be sent by email if possible, with photos in JPEG or GIF
format. Biographies will be sent out with ballot papers and placed on our
website with full details.
If you would like more information about the work of
Committee before deciding to stand for election, please contact the current
Secretary, Eileen Hiller (01484 472894 or [log in to unmask]) or any other member of
the present Committee. Full details are available from NAG Admin on 01924
383010 or [log in to unmask]. We
would also be pleased to put you in touch with other NAG members if you would
like to join the Committee but have difficulty in contacting someone to second
your nomination.
Please contact the NAG Office at the address below if you wish
to make a nomination.
