To: Members of the Board of Directors and Member Synagogues of the Orthodox Union
The members of the Nominating Committee would like to thank all of you who responded with recommendations for the new Board of the Orthodox Union to be elected at our Biennial Convention this Thanksgiving in Jerusalem. We received many suggestions and appreciate all the input. We have followed the mandate of the Constitution and have been working diligently in fulfilling the obligations we undertook in coming up with our recommendations.
Attached is a list of the people we are nominating by position.
Pursuant to the Constitution at least forty (40) days before the date fixed for such Biennial Convention, the Secretary of the Orthodox Union shall send to all Board members and to all Member Synagogues and shall post on the website of the Orthodox Union the slate of nominees prepared by the Nominating Committee with a notice that within twenty (20) days thereafter other persons may be nominated, either for Officer or Director-at-Large by filing in writing with the Secretary of the Orthodox Union, within such period of twenty (20) days, the names and addresses of such other candidate or candidates for the positions to be filed at such approaching Biennial Convention. Such additional nominations to be valid shall be on the written petition of at least twenty (20) Directors for officer nominees, and on the petition of at least ten (10) Directors for Director nominees. If such additional nominations shall have been submitted, with a written acceptance by the nominee, then the slate of the nominees of the Nominating Committee, identified as such, together with such additional names, also separately identified, shall be sent by the Secretary of the Orthodox Union to all Members Synagogues and their delegates on file at the OU and all Directors of the Orthodox Union at least ten (10) days prior to the Biennial Convention. No nominations for Officers or Directors, except as above set forth, shall be made or acted at such Biennial Convention.
Sincerely,
Stanley Weinstein, Chairman
