ELECTION BALLOT 2011

The deadline for the 2011 election ballot for Nebraska Country Music Foundation Board of Directors is September 30, 2010. Anyone who is interested in putting their name on the ballot must do so in writing and mail your request to NCMF, P.O. Box 1408, Hastings, NE 68902. You may also send your name & request to Deb Shaw, 30550 Birch Rd, Glenvil, NE  68941, or email to me debrashaw@windstream.net.   NO names will be accepted unless in writing, and no later than September 30, 2010. Being on the Board of Directors requires a lot of hard work, dedication, attend meetings, do fundraisers and events, sell ads, and help at the annual festival. It is a hard non-paying job, but the smiles, tears of happiness, & listening to talent is PRICELESS.  The Board of Directors has a Protocol & Procedures that outlines the responsibilities & expectations of a Board of Director. Anyone who is interested in putting their name on the ballot may request a copy of it from me before entering their name on the ballot. All persons on the election ballot will be introduced on stage during the awards banquet October 16, 2010.
