Since other ARLIS/NA members are sharing their responses to Ted
regarding the upcoming slate of candidates, I thought I would share mine
as well.

Ted, when I chaired the Nominating Committee several years ago, I had a
similar problem and we contacted an enormous no. of individuals before I
was able to fulfill the requirement of two candidates per office. At that
time, I sent a report to the Board and strongly recommended that we change
this practice. I think your acceptance of Sherman's slate is right on
target. As he may have said and was also my experience, we lose many
people just because they do not want to run AGAIN for office and face the
likelihood of losing. We actually lose many potential candidates for this
very reason notwithstanding the demands of being on the Board--surely,
only a small way to serve a Society that has given each of us so much but
it is still a significant contribution for a member to make. Thanks for
making this decision. bj
