Candidates Sought for Nomination to the International Reading Association Board of Directors

Because the Board of Directors sets Association policy, no other volunteer position carries greater responsibility. Members should take full advantage of the opportunity to suggest to the Association Nominating Committee candidates for vice president and directors for election. The committee may consider only individual members of the Association who have been recommended and who have submitted vita information prior to the committee's meeting. Members may nominate themselves.

Help us continue the Association's tradition of strong volunteer leadership by using the accompanying form to suggest candidates for consideration by the Association's Nominating Committee. Make your voice heard!
