I echo Leah's sentiments. I have been in NARALO from its inception and I have noticed that during the monthly call when the opening day of the nominations period is announced, a slate of favored candidates are presented in some manner. While perhaps not procedural infirm, it does seem to send a signal that may deter others from throwing in their hat.

My nominations were driven by the fact that each of these individuals is not only dedicated but doing a stellar job on our behalf. Further even as a newbie still learning the ropes, I am familiar with the work of our North American representatives and their inclusiveness of underrepresented constituents within our region like Native Public Media. An important motivation for my nominations. I welcome other NARALO regions to place forward nominations for our collective consideration. To that regard, you have time to make your own nominations as the elections are still some time away. All my best, Loris Taylor Native Public Media On Apr 11, 2016, at 3:13 PM, Leah Symekher <leahs@isc.org> wrote: Hello Lori and all: This team has done tremendous work, they probably should continue and I have utmost respect for each one of them, but why does this feel a bit rushed and skewed in Chapters NA region representation? -- Leah Symekher SFBay Area ISOC Chapter, President On 4/11/16 12:17 PM, Loris Taylor wrote: Staff: I nominate Glenn McKnight as NARALO Chair.
