Dear BMTA members,


Below please find
[1] the section of the BMTA bylaws that defines the role of the Nominations Committee in the
process of selecting our Board of Directors, and
[2] the current Nominations Committee's slate of nominees for the 2010 Board, in the form of
a table.

This slate of candidates will be presented for consideration at the BMTA Annual Meeting (of the
general membership) at Coker Creek on the evening of November 7th. As the bylaws indicate,
other nominations may be made from the floor at that meeting.

Special thanks to my fellow committee members Darcy Douglas and Rick Harris for their help in
putting this slate together.

Tom Keene, Chair
BMTA Nominations Committee
