August 18 Deadline for Director Nominations
2008 COMARA Board Election
It's time once again to elect three members of the 9-member COMARA Board of Directors, each for a three-year term. The terms expire in 2008 for Tom Kirkendall, Denis Curtin, and Bob Kinzie. If you know of someone that you think would make a good candidate for service on the Board, please obtain his or her consent to stand for election, write a very short "background" note on the candidate, focused largely on their service while at COMSAT, and send to Webmaster@comara.org no later than Monday, August 18. Thanks for considering this.
You may also nominate yourself. Please include a couple of sentences on what you hope to contribute to COMARA.
The Board meets about six times a year at noon near River Road in Potomac.
The next Board of Directors meeting is Tuesday, August 19 at noon. If you have any suggestions for activities, questions, additions to the web site, or news, please send them to Webmaster@comara.org
