How Nominations Were Gathered

The League Governance Committee solicited recommendations for candidates for the 2012 Board elections. The Board of Directors govern and set broad policy and direction for the League. Board members serve three-year terms. Eight are elected nationally by members and seven are appointed by the board. Three member-elected positions are open for this election.

How CAndidates Applied:

· A person nominated himself/herself—to ensure the candidate understands the requirements and accepts the responsibilities.
· Candidates write a statement of qualifications (see board qualifications) showing how he/she met the qualifications for serving on the League board.
· The statement and a resume were sent to Bikeleague@bikeleague.org by Oct. 1, 2011.
