[TheForge] ABANA Board Elections

[lama]

For all of you ABANA members out there.
Each year ABANA members elect 5 of 15 board members for 3 year terms.
The ballots and the candidates statements come in the August issue
of The Anvil's Ring and will be simultaneously posted on the ABANA
web site. This year promises to be a very exciting election with 10
candidates running for office. You should fully familiarize yourself with
the candidates and their platforms then fill out and return your ballot
ASAP.
Ballots must be received no later than September 15, 2003.
This year for the first time ABANA is initiating the "Voter Incentive
Program"
to encourage members to participate in the election process by casting their
ballot.
One lucky member that returns their completed ballot will win a beautiful
new anvil.
Details will be in the election brochure included with your Anvil's Ring.
