Greetings,
As the Immediate Past Chair of the Technology Law Section, it is my responsibly to chair the Elections Committee for the Section. The Elections Committee is comprised of the three most recent former Chairs of the Section as well as two other members appointed by the current Chair. The Elections Committee is tasked with accepting nominations for the office of Secretary and verifying that the nominees are qualified in accordance with the Section Bylaws. Secretary is the only office open for election, as pursuant to Section Bylaws, the current Secretary succeeds to the office of Vice-Chair and the current Vice-Chair succeeds to Chair. To be qualified to hold the office of Secretary, candidates must have been a member of the Executive Committee of the Technology Law Section and actively participated in the activities of the Executive Committee during the twelve month period immediately preceding the elections.
Brett Lockwood, a Partner at Smith, Gambrell & Russell, is the sole nominee for the office of Secretary. The Elections Committee finds that Mr. Lockwood is a qualified candidate pursuant to Section 3 of Article VI of the Section Bylaws. Unless there are other qualified nominees who contact the Elections Committee, Mr. Lockwood will be installed as Secretary at the Annual Meeting of the Technology Law Section on Tuesday, June 28, 2011.
I would like to personally encourage all of you to attend an Executive Committee meeting and help plan the activities for the Section in the coming year. I would also encourage you to visit the Section website, www.technologybar.org. There you will find information on upcoming events and meetings as well as articles from our Section members. If you have any questions regarding the election process please feel free to contact me.
Best Regards,
Chuck Ross
