The Nominating Committee has nominated the following individuals for director:
Region 1:
Celeste Kane-Stebbins, Sheldon, VT
Region 2:
Walter Gladstone, Bradford, VT
CJ Manchester, Cambridge, VT
Region 3:
Paul Harlow, Westminster, VT
Paul Franklin, Plainfield, NH
One director from each region will be elected at the 2011 Annual Meeting which will be held in four sectional meetings April 4-12, 2011. Nominations from the floor are allowed, but may be made only at the first sectional meeting on April 4 in Middlebury. Voting members as of February 28, 2011 will be eligible to vote at Annual Meeting.
Directors serve for 3-year terms, and are subject to term limits of four 3-year terms. Both Ms. Stebbins and Mr. Gladstone are incumbents in their first term. There is no incumbent running in Region 3 this year because current director Paul Doton has reached his term limit. The next time after 2011 that there will be an "open" seat in each region due to term limits, and the current director who would reach their term limit at that time, is as follows:
Region 1 - 2015 - Rocky Giroux (if re-elected in 2012)
Region 2 - 2012 - Paul Gingue
Region 3 - 2019 - Paul Saenger (if re-elected in 2013 and 2016)
