[Mikel Breitenstein]

Please cast your vote before November 1, 2004. See below for instructions.
All ballots will be kept confidential by me (the current Chair) -- and shredded

my husband!

an unopposed candidate, we endorse her election.
VOTE _____


SIG-CR WORKSHOP PLANNER ? VOTE FOR ONE OPTION
We posed a question to the membership about whether or not to make a Board
position that will be Workshop Planner. This would probably be an appointed/recruited
position, unless we decided to have it be an elected one. For this year,
there are no nominees. Please express a preference below for one option
only:

Elected Board position, Workshop Planner, beginning 2006
VOTE  _____

OR
Appointed person or committee to plan the Workshop at the discretion of
the Chair   
VOTE  _____

OR
PAST-CHAIR becomes the Workshop Planner.
Currently the Chair-Elect oversees the Annual Meeting Panel Sessions, then
takes over the next year as Chair; this would create a three-year commitment,
from Chair-Elect to Chair to Past-Chair/Workshop Planner, to begin in 2006
or 2007.
VOTE _____

Comments and suggestions are welcome! 

Your vote will be kept confidential. If you prefer, you may mail to me (include
a signature and printed name somewhere on your ballot) at 6721 E. 9th St.,
Long Beach, CA 90815, or FAX to 562-594-6133. All results will be tallied
11/01/04.
