The Southwestern Chapter of ACLU-New Mexico invites nominations or self-nominations to serve on its board of directors for a term of two or three years.

The Chapter will hold its board elections this fall. The Nominations Committee expects to report to the board at a meeting on September 15. At that point, if there are more nominees than open board positions a mail ballot election will be held. Otherwise, the election will take place at the Annual Meeting of the Chapter on October 28. Currently, there are four three-year term positions up for election and two with a two-year term. It is expected that current board members will be running for re-election to some of those terms.

In order to be nominated for election, an individual must be a current member of the ACLU and a resident of southwestern New Mexico (Catron, Grant, Hidalgo, Luna counties). Individuals nominated will be contacted by a member of the Nominations Committee to discuss the duties of board members, the length of term, etc.

To make a nomination please call Peter Falley at (575) 388-2004 or Frances Vasquez at (575) 590-0014 or send an email to falley8@gmail.com.

The Southwesters Chapter of ACLU-NM has been an active presence in southwestern New Mexico since 2003 and has worked on numerous civil liberties issues during that time. Regular meetings of the board of directors take place on a bi-monthly basis.
