Deadline for ABA Board Nominations Tomorrow

Friday, October 27, is the deadline for American Booksellers Association members to nominate candidates to serve on the ABA Board of Directors. Any ABA member may submit the names of qualified candidates to the association's Nominating Committee, chaired by Collette Morgan of Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis.

A candidate for the Board of Directors must be an ABA member who is the owner or employee of an independent bookstore with a storefront location that is operated according to sound business principles. In addition, a candidate must have at least three years of recent experience as an owner or employee of a member company. It is desirable that a nominee have at least two years of experience as an active volunteer in ABA or in a regional association or other constituency organization, or possess similar experience. Complete qualifications are outlined in the "ABA Nomination and Election Guidelines."

Nominations may be sent to Morgan via an electronic nomination form or by fax to (612) 920-7804 (a form is available in PDF format on ABA's trade website, BookWeb.org). All information will be kept confidential.
