I am very glad to see that Tim Watson has agreed to step forward to become the new Editor of Strategist. I am sure he will do an excellent job!

On to election business: the ballot is on page 11. You may vote for all National Officers and for the Director of your Region. If you live outside of the United States, including APO/FPO addresses, your Region is 11. Within the United States, the region is identified by the first digit of the ZIP code, except there is no Region "0". The six states of New England are Region 10, and all New Jersey and New York addresses are in Region 1. In casting your vote, you check YES to vote for a candidate, No to vote against, or you may write in a candidate by name in the space provided.

Ballots are to be mailed to the Elections Officer: Ben Baldanza. Ballots must be received by him no later than November 24, 2000. Results will be published in the December issue.
