At its December meeting, the president of the BCR Board of Trustees will appoint a nominating committee to prepare the official election slates for this spring's BCR OCLC Users Council delegate and Board of Trustees elections. Michael Wright, director of the Indianola (Iowa) Public Library and at-large trustee on BCR's Board, will chair the committee.

In December, official voting representatives of each BCR/OCLC library will receive a mailing with election information, including a nomination petition. Any BCR/OCLC general member may nominate a candidate for consideration for BCR's OCLC Users Council delegate position by submitting the signature of one official voting representative and the written permission of the potential nominee. Nominations must be received at BCR's Aurora office no later than January 29, 1999.

The nominating committee also will develop a slate of candidates for the spring trustee election. Contact Michael Wright if you would like to volunteer for consideration for the Board of Trustees slate. You also may nominate a write-in candidate for the BCR Board. To automatically add the nomination to the election slate, send the written permission of the nominee and the signatures of 10 voting BCR members to BCR. Contact BCR's Joyce Hillshafer for a write-in nomination form.
