Board of Directors from any AFS chapter or committee fol- lowing a change in the board’s bylaws enacted at the January Board of Directors meeting. Nominations must include the nominee’s company affilia-
tion and address and verify the nominee’s company will support his or her participation on the board during a four-year term. Nominations are due Oct. 1 and should be sent to AFS CEO Jerry Call at

Tese individuals will be placed into a pool of candidates to be considered for the subsequent Directors Classes by the board’s nominating committee.
