If you would you like to help shape the direction of the ASU Retirees Association and enjoy participating monthly (September through May) with colleagues who also have the interests of ASURA membership in mind, then you should consider running for the Board.
Since there are seldom enough volunteers to fill the annual five vacancies on the Board of Directors, if you tell us that you'd like to be involved, there's a realistic chance that you'll be asked to be on the ballot.
The ballots are sent out to the membership in the spring, so the Board Nominating Committee would need to hear of your interest by no later than mid January.
If you think another member of ASURA ought to be considered, you can submit that person's name (after making sure they would be willing, of course!).
If you want to guarantee that your name or the name of your nominee will appear on the ballot, you may do that by submitting a nominating petition signed by at least 10 current members, as defined in the Bylaws.
Direct your expressions of interest and/or your nominating petitions either to the Board Nominating Committee chair, i.e. the Immediate Past President or to the ASURA Office:
ASU Retirees Association
Arizona State University
PO Box 875504
Tempe, AZ 85287-5504
480-965-7668
There is no specific format for a nominating petition. You may simply send a letter stating that you are nominating a named member, with the letter signed by 10 current ASURA members. Make sure the member names are printed legibly in addition to providing signatures.
