Dear Members,
Our Montana Sleep Society Officers and Board of Directors have been dedicated to keeping the MSS viable for close to 4 years. Two years ago, the Society was growing slower than expected and consequently; the original MSS Officers and Board elected to serve an additional two-year term in an effort to help our organization become more defined and grow our membership.
The time has come for Montana Sleep Society Members to elect their President-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer, and 6 Directors to the Board of Directors in 2013. To be considered for these positions:
1) only Members in good standing shall be eligible to serve as Officer/Director of this Society and
2) an Officer or Director must be actively engaged in the practice (clinical, research, or education) of sleep medicine within six (6) months preceding their installation.
The Nominations and Elections Committee will accept nominations for these positions through April 15, 2013. Elections will follow prior to our annual meeting. New Officers and Board members will be sworn in during our next Montana Regional Sleep Seminar Business Meeting.
We invite member input on identifying qualified and motivated nominees and encourage each MSS Member to consider serving as a Board member or Officer to help our Sleep Society remain vital and productive.
Karen Y. Allen, CRT, RPSGT
