Trustee and Member Candidates

The UCAR Members' Nominating Committee met in Arlington, VA on 17 May to discuss the nominations for Trustee and Member committees from the UCAR community. The survey to solicit suggestions from the Members' Representatives for Trustee and Member committee slates had been conducted and the results were compiled and provided to the Committee in advance of the meeting.

These nominees have been selected with very careful consideration given to achieving a broad range of backgrounds and experience considered important to the conduct of UCAR corporate and community business. Biographical information as well as nominating statements by committee members for each of the candidates are provided.

Voting Procedure

The UCAR Bylaws state that a majority vote of Members' Representatives present (at a meeting at which a quorum is present) is required for election to office. Each Members' Representative has one vote. Votes are cast by ballot.

We recommend conducting the election in accordance with the voting procedure used in the past several years, as follows:

The four candidates receiving the highest majorities will be elected Trustees. If all four positions are filled on the first ballot, the election is complete. If fewer than four Trustees are elected on the first ballot, then the name(s) of those so elected will be removed from the ballot, and an additional ballot or ballots will be taken until all Trustee positions are filled.
