January 2012 In an election to take place this summer, CAP fellows will choose a secretary-treasurer and four governors. Incumbent secretary-treasurer Paul N. Valenstein, MD, is serving by appointment and is eligible to run for election to the secretary-treasurer position. Two incumbent governors, George F. Kwass, MD, and R. Bruce Williams, MD, are eligible for reelection to a three-year term to the Board of Governors. M. Elizabeth H. Hammond, MD, and Gail Habegger Vance, MD, have each served two three-year terms and are not eligible for reelection. Fellows can be placed in nomination for these positions by the Nominating Committee or by submitted petition signed by at least 100 CAP fellows who are eligible to vote. To request petition forms, contact Tari McDermand at 847-832-7260 or tmcderm@cap.org. June 10 is the deadline for nomination by petition. The CAP Nominating Committee will meet this spring to interview candidates for office. Members of the 2012 Nominating Committee are Louis D. Wright Jr., MD, chair; Noel Anderson Brownlee, MD, PhD; Yvonne Hearn, MD; Joseph D. Khoury, MD; Raouf E. Nakhleh, MD; Rene Rone, MD; and Neena S. Singh, MD.

Members of the Nominating Committee use the BQM and analysis information as a guide in assessing election candidates. To complement the current Board membership, the 2012 Nominating Committee will look for the following in its member candidates:
