The Leadership Search Committee (LSC) reviewed several candidate packets, interviewed dozens of NAON members, and spoke with numerous professional references over the past year.  At the end of the lengthy review process, the LSC presented the Executive Board with a recommended slate of candidates. 

Both groups now proudly present the 2012-2013 ballot for elected leadership positions.  The LSC diligently worked to identify candidates who possess the leadership skills and commitment needed to further NAON’s mission.  The majority of candidates were interviewed in person at NAON’s Annual Congress in May 2011.

The positions up for election this year are:  President Elect, Secretary and two (2) Directors.  In this issue, you will find candidate position statements for each person on the ballot.  Familiarize yourself with the candidates and cast a vote for your choice.
