IARPE - From the President
Words from the President
Vashek Vylet
As you learned in the last IARPE issue, this will be the first year when
you can elect Accelerator Section officers from the comfort of your
(office or home) chair. After the new amendment to Section Bylaws was
approved by the HPS Board of Directors at the midyear meeting last
February, the Nominating Committee carefully considered its
implications. The Bylaws now allow both to cast your vote by
correspondence before the meeting, or to vote at the annual HPS meeting in
person. It was feared, however, that mixing both types of votes would be
cumbersome: verifying who already voted and who can vote at the Section
meeting could consume much of the allotted time. The Section Board of
Directors, after discussing this issue by e-mail, approved the request of
the Nominating Committee to elect Section officers by correspondence
only. The charter of the Nominating Committee has been broadened to
"Nominating and Election Committee", since they will be processing your
votes. By the time you read this, you may receive from Ralph Thomas the
list of candidates and other details. I sincerely hope that you will find
this new method convenient and that member participation in the elections
will drastically increase.
