All candidates must provide a current curriculum vitae, a recent black-and-white photograph, at least two letters of support, and a completed questionnaire describing the nature of their practice and their position on issues important to the College.

All information can be mailed or forwarded electronically to Mary Jane Donahue at mjdonahue@acr.org.
Additionally, all candidates must be present at the ACR Council meeting on Sunday, May 18, 2008. Only those candidates in contested elections will make a presentation to the Council before the election; however, all candidates should be present so they can be introduced to the Council.
