Election Day 12/8/2009 1:07:40 PM After a successful whirlwind trip to CARTES, we’re settling in but still just as busy on the home front. The SPVA continues to build momentum as new members come onboard, our technical working groups prepare to release their first whitepapers, and…drumroll…it’s time for us to elect two candidates to the SPVA board of directors. For some quick background, the SPVA board is comprised of five directors. Three seats belong to the founding members (VeriFone, Ingenico and Hypercom), and the other two are open to a representative of our general members and a representative of our associate members. So who will it be? We have to keep you in suspense until January 6, when the results of the election are made public. Right now, the call for candidates is out, and we’re anticipating strong nominees to emerge over the course of the next few weeks. I’ll also take this opportunity to mention again that it’s never too late to join SPVA. Take a look at some of the benefits, and if you act quickly, you may be able to run for a 2010 board seat. And if you’re already a member and wondering what else you can do to help (besides voting, of course), I’d ask that you help us spread theword about SPVA. The larger our membership base, the stronger we’ll be. Our plates are full in 2010, so have your say in our strategic direction, policy formation, administration and all matters regarding SPVA’s work scope and mission. Don’t forget. Only our members are eligible to run for the board and cast a ballot. And as always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Good luck to all the candidates… |
