GALA Announces Call for Candidates: 2007-2008 GALA Board Elections

Globalization and Localization Association

Two GALA Board positions are open for election for the 2007-2008 term.

The GALA Board is responsible for overall policy and direction of the association. It has final and complete control over all decisions made by the association, including the areas of finance, legal matters, administration, personnel and others. The Board of Directors meets regularly to discuss the association’s affairs and to make decisions on its business. The Board also meets at least twice a year in person. Each Board member participates in at least one association committee and works on specific association projects. The Board also works with and supervises the GALA Administrator, who runs the day-to-day affairs of the association. Board members can be called upon to represent GALA to other organizations and at industry conferences and meetings around the world.

Individuals from GALA member companies are invited to submit candidacy for the opportunity. Candidates should be at the decision-maker level of the member company. The term of office is for two years -- January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008. Board members are elected by the majority of votes cast by GALA member companies (one vote per member company). Results will be announced at the Annual Meeting at Localization World in Montreal on October 16, 2006.
