Are you are interested in joining the Shop.org leadership?  If so, please consider submitting a Board of Director nomination application by the June 26 deadline.  Or, if you know someone that you think would make a good Board member, please encourage them to apply.

The 2009 Shop.org Board of Director election is underway.  At the end of the process, the Shop.org membership will elect 6 retailers and 2 non-retailers.  Shop.org is a member-driven organization.  The annual election of Board members, therefore, is critical to our ”by the member, for the member” ethic.   This is an opportunity to apply your ideas, experience and passion to help Shop.org realize its vision of being the world’s leading membership community for digital retail.

Over the years, the annual election process has produced amazing Board members who share a committment to the growth and success of Shop.org and the digital retail community.  Each year I look forward to the election and seeing the different members of the community who step up to contribute their experience and talent to Shop.org. 

Again, June 26 is the deadline for members to submit nomination applications.  The nominating committee will review all the submissions and select a ballot.  The final step is a vote by the members in August.  Each member company can cast a ballot for 6 new retail directors and 2 new non-retail directors. 

Everything you’d ever want to know about the election process can be found in the FAQs.  And, if you have any questions about the election process, please feel free to contact me.
