Nominations are now open for the Board of Directors of the American First Day Cover Society.
AFDCS members will elect five candidates this fall for three-year terms on the society's board of directors. The board, in turn, elects the officers and a chairman of the board for the 2014 calendar year.
The board meets in person once each year, in a meeting preceding Americover, the society's annual show and convention, and throughout the year via mail and e-mail. Members of the board of directors are not compensated nor reimbursed for their expenses.
Interested potential candidates may reference Articles IV and V of the society bylaws at
http://afdcs.org/bylaws.html for more information on the duties and responsibilities of members of the board.
Candidates must be members in good standing of the AFDCS, and may nominate themselves. Those interested should contact D.A. Lux, chair of the 2013 Nominating Committee, at dalux2041@gmail.com or via regular mail at PO Box 1831, Allen TX 75013 by July 31st.
The American First Day Cover Society is the world's largest not-for-profit organization dedicated to the collecting of FDCs. In addition to producing Americover, the AFDCS also publishes its award-winning journal First Days eight times a year, as well as handbooks and directories, and sponsors youth activities.
