CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The Museum Education Roundtable is seeking nominations of qualified
professionals to serve as candidates for election to the MER Board.
Board members represent MER and are active advocates for its mission and
activities. MER is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the
vital contributions of museums and other cultural institutions as
primary resources for lifelong learning. In addition, MER provides
leadership in professional development for a broad and diverse audience
of museum practitioners.  MER serves a worldwide membership of
individuals and institutions through its topical programs and
publications such as the Journal of Museum Education.

MER seeks a broad spectrum of committed and talented people from diverse
disciplines. Nominees may come from the broad field of formal and
informal educators including practitioners, teachers, interpreters,
researchers, consultants and others that either work or have an interest
in museums such as professionals in development or technology.
Additional criteria are knowledge, leadership and innovation in the
field, and experience in nonprofit management. Self-nominations are
welcome. The nominee must indicate the desire and time to serve. Board
members are asked to serve a three-year term (October 2001 - September
2004) with one renewable term. They must participate as an Officer, or
as a member of a committee or task force. They also are responsible for
attending scheduled meetings and a retreat, typically one meeting each
quarter. Nominees must be members of MER before they are selected as a
candidate.

Your nomination must include the name, title, and contact information of
the nominee and a brief paragraph describing the nominee’s interest and
qualifications (letter, fax or e-mail is acceptable). Nominations must
be received by May 1, 2001. Contact:
