[ilds] OMG XVIII

[James Gifford]

Hi Bruce and Ken,

The conference was a pleasure to host, and I have to give thanks to 
FDU-Vancouver for the generous use of the facilities.  I also hope we 
can see both Twitter and the listserv being useful, which I think was 
the expressed desire of the membership in Vancouver.

The membership unanimously approved the nominations committee's 
recommended slate of candidates for the ILDS Board (and all past 
presidents are also ex-officio members):

Linda Rashidi - President
James Clawson - Vice President
Paul Lorenz - Secretary/Treasurer

At-large:
Charles Sligh
Pamela Francis
Corinne Alexandre-Garner

I'll let the incoming board make the official announcement to the 
membership directly, but I do want to extend my thanks to everyone who 
served on the nominations committee and who formed a part of "my" board 
for the past four years -- thank-you all.  Your help was immeasurable.

All best,
James
