GALA call for candidates

The Globalization and Localization Association is currently accepting nominations for three open positions on the board of directors. Individuals from member companies are invited to submit their candidacy by September 12, 2008. The term of office is for two years: January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2010. Candidates should be at the decision-maker level and endorsed by their companies.

The GALA Board is responsible for overall policy and direction of the association. It has final and complete control over decisions made by the association, including the areas of finance, legal matters, administration, personnel and others. The board of directors meets regularly to discuss the association's affairs and to make decisions on its business. Candidates for the board member positions must be able to commit to at least two phone conferences per month; in-person board meetings at least twice a year; participation in at least one association committee; and leadership on specific association projects.

Candidate statements and brief biographies will be posted on the GALA website in September 2008. GALA will submit ballots to GALA member primary contacts at the end of September to elect the three board members by the majority of votes cast (one vote per member company).
