HTCIA Chapter Elections - Call for Nominees

Based on some discussion, it was decided to allow nominations for open Chapter board positions to be submitted via email.

This is a call for nominations for the following chapter board positions:
1st Vice President
2nd Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer

Bob Kardell is the incoming President for 2010.

For the chapter to continue we need to fill at least 3 board positions, President, Secretary & Treasurer. If we are unable to fill these positions, the chapter will be in jeopardy of being dissolved.

Nominations will be accepted until October 21, 2009 midnight CST. If no position is opposed, then the nominee will be new incoming chapter officer, any opposed position will require a vote of the entire chapter membership. Please discuss any nominations with the perspective nominee prior to nominating, so no one is unaware. Once a list of nominees is available notification will be sent out to the membership.

Please submit nominations to: Laurie.John@gmail.com Subject: HTCIA Chapter Nominations

Thanks
Laurie John

Thanks to all for a successful 2008! I'm glad I've gotten to know everyone involved in the chapter as I've met some great resources.

I'm excited about what's in store for 2009. There has already been some good discussion with the new chapter board and there are some great things in the works for next year.

Congrats, Tim!

Tim Vidas won this year's DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge. Tim is a Nebraska HTCIA Chapter member and encouraged the creation of the chapter from the very beginning. Tim has done some amazing work in the field and should be acknowledged for his contributions.

Congratulations on the win, Tim!
