Slate Of Officers And Trustees For 2007 As chair of the Nominating Committee, I would like to extend my gratitude to the participants of the Committee (Ted Cross, Wes Anson, Allen Baum, Tom Picone, and Dwight Olson) for their thoughtful contributions, as well as all members of the Board of Trustees who submitted recommendations for new Trustees and Officers. After careful deliberations, the Nominating Committee proposes the following slate for 2007-2008: Officers: President Thomas Picone Past President  Allen Baum President-Elect François Painchaud Regional Vice President USA Walter Copan Regional Vice President Canada Ken McKay Treasurer Michael Lasinski Secretary Thomas Filarski VP International John Paul VP Membership Gary Nath VP Education  Phillip Barnett VP Communications Ada Nielsen VP Local Chapters Paul Roberts VP Member Interests Glenn Wheeler Trustees (Beginning two year terms): New Membership Mitch Charness Industrial Sectors Isabelle Gorrillot Sponsorship Ross Epstein Committees Russell Levine Marketing Gwen Melincoff Current Offerings Brian O’Shaunghnessy Trustees (Completing two-year terms): Partnering Pamela Demain Certification Michael Lee Local Chapters USA & Canada West Peter Ross Mentoring James Vlazny Local Chapters USA & Canada East Catherine Vorwald LES Web site Joseph Zakrzewski All of the above candidates have been advised of their nomination, and have agreed to serve their term, if elected. The most difficult part of the nominating process is the nonrenewal of terms for Board members who have shown outstanding dedication and commitment to LES. However, bringing on new Trustees is necessary to the progress of LES—it not only recognizes active contributors to the organization, but also ushers in fresh ideas for the management of our Society. The following Board Members will be retiring from active Board service at the end of their terms in October 2007: Margaret Moizel Nila Bhakuni Brian Oliver William Fields Gerald Siuta Dwight Olson Jon Wood (4/2007)   Respectfully submitted, Dwight Olson
