Thanks, Donna, for the reminder to join OpenMPE (just got done with it).
While it may not get said often enough, there are many of us out here that appreciate the hard work from the OpenMPE board, and applaud your perseverance!
Have a great weekend,
Ray Shahan

> Each March OpenMPE holds an election for seats on the Board of
> Directors (BOD). OpenMPE has a total of nine Directors. In keeping
> with good practice to assure corporate stability and as required by our
> Bylaws, the election terms of members on the Board are staggered. Each
> seat on the Board has a term of service of 2 years. Thus,
> approximately half the board is elected each year. Members are
> encouraged to review our corporate Bylaws which are posted on OpenMPE's
> website (http://www.openmpe.org/Articles-Bylaws.htm).
>
> With 9 seats on the Board, this means that in even numbered years 5
> will be up for election and in odd numbered years 4 will be subject to
> election. This being an odd numbered year (2005), the By-Laws require
> that we hold an election for the 4 Board seats expiring in March. The
> election is for full two-year terms.
>
> This year the following BOD members/positions will be open for
> election:
> Birket Foster
> Ron Horner
> Paul Edwards
> Mark Klein
>
> Neither Ron Horner nor Mark Klein are seeking reelection. The BOD
> would like to take this opportunity to thank Ron and Mark for their
> contributions and service on behalf of OpenMPE and wish them well.
> Birket Foster and Paul Edwards are seeking reelection.
>
> The 2005 election will begin during the 2nd week of February and end on
> Friday, March 4th. The results will be announced on Monday, March 7th
> -- the date of OpenMPE's annual general meeting.
>
> To ensure an adequate number of candidates, the BOD is seeking
> candidates for OpenMPE's board for the upcoming election. If you would
> like to become a candidate, please send an email to Donna Garverick,
> Secretary for the BOD (dgarverick @ longs.com) expressing your desire
> to seek election along with a brief discussion of your qualifications.
> There is only one requirement for becoming a BOD member -- a commitment
> of time. The BOD meets weekly and the participation of the entire
> board is critical.
>
> Finally, in order to vote in the upcoming election you must be a member
> of OpenMPE. Membership is free and it only takes a few moments to
> complete the form (http://openmpe.org/Membership.htm).
>
> 2005 is the YEAR OF DECISION! HP will be announcing MPE's fate
> sometime in the second half of this year. Show your support for MPE!
> Send a clear message to HP that you want a future for MPE! Join
> OpenMPE today!
