Notice of 2011 USBF Board Election
ATTENTION ALL USBF MEMBERS
This Fall the USBF should have already conducted an election to fill 2 seats on its Board of Directors. Both seats are for a three-year term commencing in January, 2012. Unfortunately, the Nominating Committee didn't get organized and hasn't yet nominated candidates for these Board positions, so the election has been delayed. The Nominating Committee is now working hard to find nominees and the election will be held in February.
USBF Board members must be currently active USBF members, having paid the 2011 and 2012 annual active member dues of $50.
The USBF Nominating Committee will hopefully soon nominate at least two people for the two positions.
