Alliance to Elect First Board

  • Written by Channel
  • February 9, 2004

The CompTel/ASCENT Alliance will hold its annual membership meeting and board elections 5 p.m. today. This is the first round of board elections since the Alliance was formed in November. Thirty-one nominees are vying for one of 21 seats on the consolidated board (see list below).

The membership meeting is open only to Alliance members and only voting members may take part in the board elections, immediately following the membership meeting.

The elected Alliance board comprises six representatives in each of the medium and large company segments and nine representatives from among the small company members. Voting members in good standing with the Alliance as of the time they cast their ballots are eligible to vote for candidates not exceeding the number of seats available in their membership category.

Elections for directors representing small companies (annual revenue less than $25 million) will be in Room 213-A; elections for directors representing medium companies (annual revenue between $25 million and $250 million) will be in Room 213-B; and elections for directors representing large companies (annual revenue more than $250 million) will be in Room 213-C.

Only one person per voting member company may vote. Anyone wishing to vote must present Alliance staff with valid identification and proof of employment at the voting member company.

If unable to attend the meeting, voting members can participate in Early Bird voting in a special voting area near the registration center until noon today. However, if a second ballot is required due to a tie or other circumstances, Early Bird voters will not be able to mark a second ballot unless they attend in person.

A call for nominations was sent to all voting members in December and nominations for candidates for the board of directors closed Dec. 31.
