The Committee is made up of Richard Webb, Karen Clayton, and Bob Ray, chair. We are excited about the response we have been receiving from members that wish to serve in various capacities in this year’s election. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>As we have stated earlier this year we are asking all persons interested in serving as an officer or Board Member of the NFBI to submit your name to the committee in advance. We would prefer that you contact one of the members of the committee directly, not through this list to state your preference. Please tell us what position you wish to run for or if you are willing to serve in different positions we would like to know that too. The response so far has been tremendous. We have more than one candidate for at least two positions. With this in mind, the committee will be meeting with all candidates during the early part of the convention to give you an opportunity to tell us your thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>If you plan to run please let us know as soon as possible so that we may start scheduling appointments. If you have any questions contact any member of the committee. Those who have already contacted us do not need do it again unless there is something you wish to add. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Thank you for your help in this very important matter.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>2024 NFBI Nominating Committee<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Bob Ray, Chair<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>(515) 334-7231<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Karen Clayton, Sioxland<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Richard Webb, Southeast Chapter<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Aptos><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div></body></html>
