Five new members will be elected this spring to begin three-year terms on the 15 member council. We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are willing to devote their time and energy to helping solidify our efforts to establish a strong association of YFU alumni in the US.

The minimum eligibility requirements follow:

Nominees must have a minimum of two years of meaningful involvement with YFU (excluding the exchange experience).
They must provide two written YFU references.
They must reside in the United States.
They must have (or be willing to obtain) e-mail accessibility.
They must be willing to lead at least one NAC associated project while holding office.
They must be willing to meet two weekends a year and for monthly on-line chats.

Two thirds of the NAC must be alumni. With the current configuration of the council, up to three non-alumni nominees could be elected this year. Once elected, members will serve a three year term which will run from April 1999 through March 2002. NAC members may serve two consecutive terms.

If you are interested in participating in or nominating someone to the YFU-USA Alumni Association as a NAC member, please contact Melissa McDonough or call the YFU Alumni Affairs office at 1-800-424-3691 ext. 176. The election will be held in early March, so nominations, including recommendations, are due no later than mid February.
