Berrigan (Nuclear Energy Institute), Sama Bilbao y Leon (International Atomic Energy Agency), Jack S. Brenizer, Jr. (Penn State University), K. Michael Goff (Idaho National Laboratory), John S.

Non-U.S. Director At-Large Position Candidates
Nominated to run for the Non-U.S. Director At-Large - the Americas - position are: Amares Chatt (Dalhousie University), Daniel A. Meneley (AECL).


Directors whose terms will end in June 2010 are: Sama Bilbao y Leon, William E. Burchill, Juan Luis Francois, Alan E. Levin, Jose N. Reyes, Amir Shahkarami.

In addition to Chair William E. Burchill, members of this year's Nominating Committee included: Local Sections Committee Chair Audeen W. Fentiman, Cindy Fung, Darby S. Kimball, James A. Lake, Corey K. McDaniel, John K. Wheeler, Ned Wogman.

Members have the option to Nominate by Petition. Candidates, other than individuals on the Nominating Committee's slate, may be nominated by petition for Officer and Director vacancies. Acceptable petitions must:

* Be signed by 200 or more ANS voting members;
* Contain the original signature of each petitioner;
* Have the nominee's written consent; and
* Be in the Office of the ANS Executive Director at least 22 weeks prior to the Annual Meeting.
Petitions for the 2010 national election are due at ANS Headquarters no later than January 8, 2010 (no extensions).

Voting
Ballots for the 2010-2011 election will be mailed on March 1, 2010.  As ratified by the ANS membership in June 1997, there will no longer be balloting at the Annual Meeting.  Therefore, the mail ballots for the Board of Directors election must be returned and received no later than 12 noon on Tuesday, April 12, 2010.
