>> The following state affiliate officers and state board members were
>> elected in 2016 for two year terms.  They will be up for re-election
>> at the convention in 2018.

>> Joy Breslauer, President

>> Sheila Leigland, First vice President

>> Donna Harris, Second Vice President

>> Rik James, Secretary

>> Ted Robbins, Treasurer

>> Jeff Haworth, board member at large

>>  Jim Aldrich, board member at large



>> The following two board member positions are up for election for two
>> year terms at the 2017 convention in Bozeman.  If elected, they will
>> serve till convention, 2019.

>> Linda Hurlock, board member at large

>> Stacie Huff, board member at large



>> If either one of the board members up for election in 2017 do not wish
>> to have their names submitted for nomination to the Board for the next
>> two year term, please let the nominating committee know at the
>> convention.  The nominating committee consists of the three chapter
>> Presidents, Rik James, Sheila Leigland, and Jeff Haworth.  They will
>> have a closed meeting at which they will choose a chairperson and vote
>> to submit for nomination consideration the names of the current board
>> members up for election, unless one or both of those board members
>> have let the committee know they don't want to run again, in which
>> case the committee will have no recommendation for that board
>> position.  During the election, the President will ask for any other
>> nominations from the floor.  If you wish to be nominated for a board
>> position, let someone know so they can place your name in nomination.
>> The President can't nominate you, and neither can anyone from the
>> nominating committee.  If you wish to nominate someone for a board
>> position, please check with them first to see if they will accept your
>> nomination from the floor.  Once your name has been nominated, we will
>> ask for a short speech about why you think you should be elected, and then
> we will take a vote, until the person with the most votes is elected.



>> The only thing I ask is that the nominating committee members remember
>> that what goes on at their meeting behind closed doors is kept
>> strictly confidential, and may not be discussed with anyone at any
>> time for any reason before the vote on the floor is taken before the
> assembled convention.



>> Clear as mud?



>>  Joy Breslauer, President

>> National Federation of the Blind of Montana

>> Live the life you want



>> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
>> characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
>> expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
>> obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
>> you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
