It is once again time for all members of the Bertrand Russell Society to vote for representatives to the BRS Board of Governors. Voting has been simplified this year – you have eight votes to cast and seven candidates to choose from. You can’t go wrong! Originally, there had been eight nominees, but Laurie Endicott Thomas withdrew her nomination, as she has not been feeling well for a while, and was not sure that she would be able to serve if elected. However, she reports that she has been feeling much better recently due to a new treatment she has been trying. We hope that she continues to improve and that we will see her at the 2004 Annual Meeting this summer in New Hampshire. To continue with election news, those desiring a more competitive race may write-in for candidates who are members of the BRS in good standing. Ken Blackwell has proposed David Blitz, a research fellow at the Russell Archives at McMaster University who is on leave this year from Central Connecticut State, as a write-in candidate. David has agreed to serve if elected. Other write-in candidates are similarly acceptable. Ballots are located in the center of this issue. Please return them to Tom Stanley, Box 434, Wilder, VT 05080 USA or email your vote to Tom at tom.stanley@valley.net. Tom is this year’s election committee. Each member of a couple with joint membership is entitled to vote. All ballots must include the name and (in the case of written ballots) the signature of the member voting, and must be received by December 31, 2003.
The nominees for the 2004-2006 term of the BRS Board of Directors are: Kenneth Blackwell (nominated by Chad Trainer), Dennis Darland (nominated by Chad Trainer), David Henehan (nominated by Warren Allen Smith), Stephen Reinhardt (nominated by Chad Trainer), David White (nominated by Chad Trainer), Tom Stanley (nominated by Peter Stone), John Lenz (nominated by Peter Stone). |
