Slate of Officers Named for 2009-2011 Board of Directors
Every two years, as required by the By-Laws of the NFFC, a Nominating Committee is appointed to assemble a slate of Board of Directors for the upcoming term of office. This year, the committee members are Daron Sorg (chair), Nancy Crawford, Jay Aldrich, Amy Stoddard, and Linda Rolls. The Nominating Committee has been extremely fortunate to be able to draw on quite a range of talent for the nominees of the upcoming 2-year term of office for the NFFC Board of Directors.
The Nominating Committee is pleased to present the following slate to serve as the NFFC Board of Directors for the 2009 – 2011 term of office:

Should a member not appearing on this slate wish to become a candidate, he or she shall submit a petition of nomination to the Nominating Committee. The petition must be signed by twenty (20) members, or one percent (1%) of the active membership of The Club, whichever is greater. One percent of the Club's present membership is less than 20, so 20 current members of the NFFC must sign the petition. The petition must be mailed to the Nominating Committee at Post Office Box 19212, Irvine, California 92623-9212, and be received no later than April 16, 2009.
If no valid petitions are received, the proposed slate shall be considered ratified. If a valid petition is received, the Board will hold an election by mail to determine the winner of a contested office. Such an election, if necessary, shall take place on June 1, 2009, with ballots mailed by May 15, 2009. All ballots must be returned by July 1, 2005 to be valid and counted. The new Board of Directors will be installed at the Annual Business Meeting of the NFFC during the 2009 NFFC Convention this July.
The above guidelines are set forth in the By-Laws of the NFFC. If you have any questions regarding the election process, please contact the Nominating Committee Chairperson, Daron Sorg at daron@nffc.org.
