[Auug-announce] Reminder: Notice of election

[Greg 'groggy' Lehey]

Annual Election of Officers and General

A reminder: there's less than a week to go until nominations close for
the management committee elections for next year.  As usual at this
time, we don't have nearly enough nominations.  Please consider
standing for the management committee.  If you're concerned that it's
too difficult, don't be.  Feel free to send me mail or give me a call
(08-8388-8286) if you have any questions.  I'm enclosing the original
announcement below.

Secretary, AUUG Inc.




	       Annual Election of Officers and General
			  Committee Members
_________________________________________________________________

			 Call For Nominations
			    Get involved!

AUUG  has a proud 27 year history of sharing knowledge, providing
member services and, most importantly, creating  a  community  of
like  minded  professionals.   Every year brings fresh challenges
and new opportunities.  As a result, AUUG is in a  constant  pro-
cess of evolution; a process of which every member in our associ-
ation is a part.  This year will mark a particularly  interesting
chapter  in  AUUG's  evolution:  for the first time in nearly ten
years, we will reevaluate our position in the industry.   We  ex-
pect significant changes as a result.

The  role  of AUUG's Officers and General Committee Members is to
manage, plan and execute, according to the will  of  the  general
membership.   This  stewardship  is not passive, nor is it always
easy.  However, serving the AUUG community is also immensely  re-
warding  because, simply, our goals matter and we can make a dif-
ference.

What should AUUG be doing next year? How can we serve our members
and  our  community  better? What great ideas are out there, just
waiting for their chance to be tried out? How do we  better  pro-
mote our knowledge and philosophies?

Do  you  know the answers to some of these questions? Are you the
sort of person who knows how to get things done? Or do  you  know
someone like this?

AUUG needs people with fire and clue.  Help make AUUG the kind of
association you want it to be--nominate the best people for elec-
tion to our Management Committee.  If you would like to know more
about serving on the Management Committee, email the current com-
mittee at auugexec at auug.org.au.

In order to stand for office, you must be an Individual Member of
the AUUG, and you need to be nominated by three voting members of
AUUG  (that  is,  either Individual Members or Institutional Mem-
bers).

If you can't find three people to nominate you, send in your nom-
ination  form  anyway.  We should be able to find someone to sign
it.

In  order to nominate a member for the Committee, please copy and
fill out the following official nomination form, and send  it  to
