USA Fencing

I. The Nominating Committee puts forward the following names for the 2013 USA Fencing Board of Directors Election:

1. Nominees for At-Large Director: Nathan Anderson, Jane Carter, Aaron Clements, Laurence Schiller;
2. Nominees for Club Director: Jeff Salmon, Serge Timacheff
3. Nominees for Volunteer Staff Director: Brad Baker, Andrew Lambdin-­Abraham.

II. In addition, as a result of this process, the Committee would like to put for the following recommendation to the President and the Board of Directors: 

The Nominating Committee should be constituted at the Board of Directors Meeting that takes place at the Summer Nationals meeting on an annual basis.

Rationale: The Committee feels that selecting the Nominations Committee at the Board Meeting in June or July would provide more time for the committee to select a chair, develop procedures and solicitation posting, review and discuss applications, and seek additional candidates if needed. This will require a Bylaws amendment.
