Deadline for board nominations August 1
Members urged to get involved in leadership
Members of the Network of Executive Women have until August 1 to submit
nominations for its board of directors. Elections will be held on
Monday, September 11, just prior to the Network's Annual Leadership
Summit in Dallas.
Active NEW members from the following categories are eligible:
Retailers, wholesale distributors, manufacturers, brokers and
solution-providers, plus members of organizations allied to the
industry, such as media and associations.
'Ask a busy person'
"There's a saying that if you want something done, ask a busy person,"
said Network President Kimberly Betts, a member of the Human Capital
Practice of Deloitte & Touche. "The Network's work of advancing
women in CPG and retail industries is too important to be left for
'someone else.' Serving in a leadership role is a great way to help
yourself, your company and your industry."
A nominating committee consisting of Betts, Past President Michele
Hanson, President-Elect Helayne Angelus and NEW Champions Bonnie
Wurzbacher and Dan Abraham will evaluate nominations. Network members
who wish to submit a nomination should submit the application form by
August 1 to Nathalia Granger, NEW director of operations, at ngranger@newonline.org.
Nominations are open for eleven board members whose terms end in
September 2006 (three of the current board members have already served
two two-year terms and cannot be re-nominated; the remaining vacancies
may be filled by re-nominating those currently serving).
For more information on how to nominate a candidate for one of these
vacancies, or if you are interested in applying, contact Joan Toth,
NEW's executive director, at jtoth@newonline.org, (312) 373-5393.
