As Chairman of the Virginia Avian Records Committee (VARCOM) I am soliciting
nominations for voting members of the committee. In general voting committee
members review records of bird sightings submitted to VARCOM and vote on their
acceptance. As per the bylaws for VARCOM, any Virginia Society of Ornithology
(VSO) member may nominate one person who has demonstrated expertise in the
field identification of birds and their distribution, accepts VARCOM's rules,
and is a member in good standing of the VSO. The duties of committee members
are outlined in section III.c.3 of VARCOM's bylaws.
http://www.varcom.org/bylaws.html It is the responsibility of the nominator to ;
obtain the approval of the nominee to be nominated prior to submitting the
nomination. Each nomination should be sent to me. The period of nomination
will end October 1, 2011. The new class of voting members of VARCOM will be
elected by VARCOM and approved by the Board of the VSO. This year two new
members will be elected for four year terms. I look forward to receiving your
nominations.
Thank you,
Robert L. Ake
