Our Mission.

The Ballot Prep Committee (BPC) oversees the Proposal and Ballot process – educating the fellowship, calling for proposals, offering feedback, drafting analysis with the Board, encouraging translations, compiling a Ballot, eliciting the vote and comments, and tallying and announcing the results.

An Invitation, the Committee, and our Address.

The BPC will be happy to have your participation, please join us.

Presently our membership includes: Rene A. (MA), Mary Jo L. (IL), and Brad L. (MD).

The Co-Chairs of the ABC/AWC Committee participate – Liz C. (CT) and Karin S. (IL).

The Chair of the BPC is Jim R. (NY) and the Board Liaison is Jim B. (FL/CA).
