2011 
						Election Nominating Committee:
						
						Merlene Anderson, Chair
						
						
						Cindy Ruckman
						
						
						Robin Benson
						
						
						Deb McDougall
						
						
						Terry Duespohl
						 
						Thank you 
						very much to our nominating committee for all of their 
						efforts in securing candidates for the 2011 election. 
						Your service is greatly appreciated. 
						 
						The 
						committee was required to provide a minimum of two 
						candidates for each board position to be filled. Mark 
						Smith's term expired this year so there was one position 
						to fill. The committee secured Karen Baum and Hal Koenig 
						as possible candidates to fill the position. 
						
						 
						An online 
						election was conducted through the office for all 
						members we have current e-mail addresses for and paper 
						ballots were mailed to those without e-mail addresses in 
						our database. Thank you to everyone who voted for the 
						board member you would like to represent you for the 
						next five years.
						 
						Thank 
						you to Karen and Hal for their willingness to serve the 
						llama community as an ILR director. 
						 
						 
						
							
							
							
							After the ballots were tabulated, KAREN BAUM 
							received the most votes and is welcomed to the ILR 
							Board of Directors for a five-year term!
