X-Message-Number: 2994 Date: Wed, 17 Aug 94 20:10:04 From: Steve Bridge <> Subject: CRYONICS Alcor elections To CryoNet >From Steve Bridge, President Alcor Life Extension Foundation August 17, 1994 Arguments are fewer this year, so I almost forgot to post something on Alcor's annual election for the Board of Directors. The election will be held as the first order of business at the September 11, 1994 Directors meeting. The meeting will be at 1:00 p.m. in Alcor's offices at 7895 E. Acoma Dr., Suite 110, Scottsdale AZ 85260-6916. For those new to all of this, Alcor's Directors are elected annually by the Directors themselves. Each Director may vote for up to nine candidates. Directors may not give more than one vote to any candidate. Voting is by secret ballot, with each Director's ballot made public after the votes have been tabulated. In 1992, three new Directors were elected. In 1993, two new Directors were elected. Current Directors are: Steve Bridge, President David Pizer, Vice President Ralph Whelan, Secretary Michael Riskin, Treasurer Fred Chamberlain III Keith Henson Hugh Hixon Carlos Mondragon Mark Voelker As far as I am aware, all but one of these Directors are candidates for the 1994 election. Fred Chamberlain has decided not to run this year. Linda Chamberlain, Fred's wife and Alcor's first President, has announced that she will run for the Board. No other Alcor members have declared themselves as candidates so far. If you are an Alcor suspension member and wish to run for election as a Director, please notify me as soon as possible. While the only Bylaws requirement for Directors is that they be fully signed up Alcor suspension members, practical requirements for getting elected are: At least three years experience as a cryonicist. Access to e-mail, since much of our business is handled that way. Willingess to spend more time than you can imagine dealing with the problems of an organization which uses a technology outside the norms of American society and business. Willingness to put the security of Alcor's patients foremost. The ability to work with and communicate with a widely (and sometimes "wildly") varied group of Directors, staff, and members.
