I have served as both AB Representative to the Election
Committee and later as Election Committee Chair.

My role when the Advisory Board Representative was to bring
questions from the Election Committee to the Advisory Board and
visa versa. The Advisory Board Representative and the Ex-
officio member to the Advisory Board conduct the election of
the Election Committee Chair and the Publicist/Secretary.

Really as simple as that.

Mike, with your permission, I will forward your question to
Shirley Cullum the Election Committee Chair and post her reply
here to the list.
