(ANSI: New York) -- The American National Standards Institute invites all members to submit a nomination for the 2009 ANSI board of directors. Nominations are for terms beginning on January 1, 2009.

ANSI strives to ensure balance and diversity within its membership and is seeking board members who will enhance member relationships and networks. To facilitate the process, ANSI has compiled a set of guidelines that outline the sectors that are currently underrepresented in ANSI’s board of directors. The guidelines for nominations, as well as nomination forms, general information, and ANSI’s code of ethics, are available in the ANSI online library. Nominations must be received by June 9, 2008.

All nominations for the board require a biographical statement and a letter of corporate support (note: letter of corporate support is not required for corporate officers or for individual and government members). Candidates for the board of directors will be referred to the board nominating committee and nominations by that committee will be subsequently balloted for election by the ANSI membership.
