Dear OAUA member: We're excited to see the progress the Online Auction Users Association has made in its second year! As our two-year anniversary approaches, there are a few important things we thought all members should know about. First, elections for vacant seats on the Board of Directors of the Online Auction Users Association are being held now through midnight central time, September 5. It's important that we get a large turnout for this election in order to satisfy the quorum requirements, so PLEASE VOTE! There are 6 candidates running for 4 seats. You can vote for up to 4 candidates. Read about the candidates here: http://www.auctionusers.org/announce/2001-BOD-nominees.shtml And then vote here: http://www.auctionusers.org/vote/ It will only take a minute! You will need your OAUA member ID and password in order to vote. Email ms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you need your password and/or member ID. Please include your first and last name with your request. Secondly, the annual membership meeting of the OAUA will be held on Thursday, September 6, at 5:00 PM Pacific. This will be an online meeting, and all members are invited to attend. The meeting will be in the OAUA "Live Chat" area, in the "Annual Member Meeting" room: http://www.auctionusers.org/chat/ You can find more information on the annual membership meeting, including "rules of order" for the meeting, and a series of "Candidate Q&A" questions that have been asked of the candidates on our discussion board in the Annual Member Meeting & Board Election Forum: http://www.auctionusers.org/forums/ Thanks for helping to make the OAUA's second year a success! Sincerely, Jen Hassler President, Online Auction Users Association www.auctionusers.org The OAUA Bylaws require us to notify all members of the annual meeting and election.
