Kevin Dignam’s term of office as D12 Nominator will cover the years 2011 and
2012. It is the duty of all the 14 District Nominators to attend one ISA
Leaders Meeting each year, namely the Summer Leaders Meeting (SLM). The
2011 meeting will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, 25 – 28 June and during
this time the Nominating Committee will meet and thus select the new officers
of the society.

Kevin’s first duty as D12 Nominator will be to work with Dianna Noyes, ISA
staff member and organise an election for a DVP-elect. We need to keep the
leadership pipeline full and elect a successor to our current DVP, Jean-Pierre
HAUET. As a matter of fact, eleven of the fourteen ISA Districts have an elect
in place at this stage, hence we are one of the three districts which does not
have a DVP-elect at the moment.

I trust you will congratulate Kevin and wish him well in serving the district in
this important portfolio.

Regards,

Billy Walsh
