NAMHSA seeks new Regional Representatives for Regions 2 and 4

Region 4 Representative

Due the election of Carra McCelland to the position of NAMHSA VP, NAMHSA will run a special election to fill the position of Region 4 Representative. The first step in this process is nomination.

All NAMHSA member showholders and individual members *IN REGION 4* may nominate a candidate for repesentative (including themselves), however, you MUST be certain the person you are nominating has confirmed he or she is willing to run for office.

Once elected, the new Region 4 Representative will take office immediately and will serve the remainder of Carra's term, that is, through NAN 2014. The new Region 4 Representative will be eligible to run for re-election. 

Candidates need to be aware that the job requires making a significant time and effort commitment to QUICKLY respond to Board work and issues. Board members assume ultimate responsibility for running NAMHSA and assuring a quality NAN. Regular and reliable email access is required, as the NAMHSA Board is primarily an email entity. 

Regional Representative duties include:

· Act as a liaison between NAMHSA members in the region and the NAMHSA Board
· Participate in all Board discussions
· Vote in all Board votes
· Manage the Region 4 NAMHSA discussion email list.

Regional Representatives may show at NAN.
