SEMPO Opens Nomination Period for Board of Directors

On the heels of the release of SEMPO’s (Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization) annual State of the Search Marketing Industry report that Chris wrote about today, Dana Todd has informed us know that the nomination period for the SEMPO Board of Directors is now open.

Postscript: Here’s the information emailed to

With the new year comes the beginning the electoral process for SEMPO’s
Board of Directors. The first step in the process is the nomination period,
which will be open from 2 PM GMT (9 AM ET) on Monday, January 9 through 10 PM

SEMPO’s Board for 2006 will consist of 13 individuals, each of whom must be
a current SEMPO member. The term of SEMPO’s current Board is for one year, so
they must be nominated and re-elected to retain their current seats. Only one
candidate from each eligible member company may be nominated and the list of
nominees will be posted on www.sempo.org after the close of the nomination
period. To view the full electoral process, please click here.

SEMPO’s current and previous Boards have been dedicated to SEMPO and
significantly helped drive SEMPO to its current status as a leading industry
organization. SEMPO has hundreds of members in over 20 countries and continues
to grow. We ask that you submit your nomination for the person you feel will
best help SEMPO continue to grow and achieve its mission. SEMPO members are
allowed to nominate themselves for election.

Please submit your nomination, via email, to [EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED;
