Greetings
IAGR Members,
Thank you for the initial
response to the Call for Nominations. The IAGR Board has received two
nominations for three spaces and is re-opening the acceptance of nominations
for one additional week.
If you or a fellow
regulator you know is interested in getting more involved in the direction of
IAGR and to contributing time and energy to making the association even better
than it is today, we invite you to submit a nomination.
In accordance with the IAGR Bylaws, nominations of new members to the Board may
be made by any member of IAGR, including current members of the Board. Such
nominations shall have a proposer and a seconder with no more than one being
from the same jurisdiction as the nominee. The Board is currently calling for
nominations to fill three vacancies to serve the term of office for
three years. If you wish to nominate a member to the Board, please complete the
attached nomination form and email it to Secretary Trude Felde at tfe@lotteritilsynet.no
no later than May 10, 2013. Note that this is a firm deadline and that late nominations cannot be accepted.
A special meeting via electronic means (as provided for under Section 4.3 of
the IAGR Bylaws) will then be convened during which jurisdictional members may
cast their votes.
A list of all nominees will be provided to you for consideration prior to the
electronic meeting. Please note the following in making your nominations:
1) First and foremost, only nominate individuals who have indicated a
willingness to invest significant time and effort into being a trustee. These
are working positions of responsibility.
2) Ideally
Trustees attend both an annual Board of Trustees meeting held to coincide with
the annual conference and a mid-year meeting usually held in another part of
the world as well as participate in numerous email exchanges and multiple
conference calls. Those unable to attend the meetings in person are expected to
join by phone.
3) Think
about geographical and membership representation in making your nominations.
For example, does the individual you plan to nominate come from an already
substantially represented region?
4) In order
to make a nomination both you and the individual you are nominating must be
paid members of IAGR in good standing.
Excluding office holders, the minimum representation of each region shall be at
least one member unless the region has not produced a nominee. The regions are
defined as follows:
Asia/Oceania
North America
(Canada/U.S./Mexico)
Europe
Africa
Central
America/Caribbean/South America
No region
shall have more than four members represented on the Board at one time.
The current trustees and their represented regions are as follows:
President/Trustee: Susan Hensel, North America
Vice President/Trustee:
Lau Peet Meng, Asia/Oceania
Treasurer/Trustee:
A.G. Burnett, North America
Trustee: Dale

We look

2013.
Thank you
IAGR Board of
