Call to action! Nominations needed for the 2010-2011 NAPO-DFW Board!
Dear Chapter Members,
 
It's that time of year again! The Nominating Committee of NAPO-DFW is asking for your support of continuing the great works of our chapter.
 
Please submit your nominations to Christine Shanklin at [email protected]. You are allowed to self-nominate or nominate your fellow NAPO-DFW chapter members (all active members are listed online at www.napodfw.com). You can find a short description for each board position by clicking here.
 
Once nominations are received we will contact the nominees to see if the nomination fits his/her vision for the upcoming year, and  then we'll prepare the ballot for chapter voting in February. 
 
Serving on the board brings many benefits - an enhanced listing on our website; developing close relationships with other members of the board and chapter; industry related networking; leadership development; credit towards certification; discounts; advertising incentives and more. 
We look forward to hearing from you!
