The bylaws of the SUR require that once complete and reviewed, applications for Fellowship be presented at the next regularly scheduled business meeting. The bylaws also state that election to Fellow status requires a two-thirds majority vote of current Fellows present and eligible to vote, providing that at least one-half of all Fellows eligible to vote are in attendance.

In order to assure that an adequate number of Fellows have the opportunity to vote for the candidates currently being considered, we are providing this on-line opportunity to vote.

This on-line voting is only for Fellows who will be unable to attend the SUR business meeting. If you will not be present for the business meeting, please take a moment to read the brief biographies provided and cast your vote on behalf of the Fellow applicants. Your absentee ballot must be submitted by February 5, 2010.

Respectfully submitted,
The SUR Membership Committee
