Members of the Nominating Committee, Thanks again for your attendance and participation in the annual meeting last Friday. As you are all aware we have two vacant slots to fill on our Board roster. One of those spots is for the Chairman of the Board. Jonathan Schwartz has graciously agreed to take the COB position for 90 days so the clock is ticking. Jonathan would like the committee to meet some time this week or Monday or Tuesday of next week to briefly discuss strategy for moving forward expeditiously. For purposes of orientation, I have included a brief memo I put together earlier this year for Kimberly Clark regarding membership. The Board of Directors of ZERO The Project to End Prostate Cancer (ZERO) is charged with achieving the organization¹s mission of ³zero prostate cancer² through strategic direction and oversight of ZERO¹s management. The Board consists of 13 members who need not be residents of the District of Columbia. All new members are elected by an affirmative vote of a majority of Board members. There are no term limits. There is also an honorary Medical Advisory Board for medical professionals but it is unrelated to the full Board. Each member is expected to participate in at least three meetings a year.. Board by-laws stipulate that the annual meeting should occur on the first Tuesday in June at ZERO¹s offices unless otherwise stipulated by consensus of the Board. In 2011, members will be expected to participate in a minimum of three meetings a year, with two of those meetings being face-to-face in a location to be determined by the Board. All other meetings, as deemed necessary, will occur telephonically. In general telephonic meetings last 60 to 90 minutes, while in-person meetings may last two hours or more. Each member will participate on at least one Board committee. The current committee structure includes the following: executive committee, finance committee, audit committee, and nominating committee. The Board may elect to add committees as it deems them necessary. The Board will try to assign members to committees that are of interest to them and commensurate with their expertise. Membership to the Board of Directors is extended to those individuals who show extraordinary support for ZERO¹s mission. Prospective members may possess and wish to share business and fundraising acumen, strategic leadership, innovative program capacities, and/or unique perspectives on the opportunities and obstacles facing the organization as it seeks to fulfill its mission. Each member is expected to use his or her talents to help the organization rapidly, efficiently, effectively, and ethically attain the goals decided on by the Board. Board members are not remunerated for their service.
