Here is your slate of candidates to be elected in 2007 for CMG's 2008 Board of Directors. As the Nominating Chairman, I worked with the members of my committee to find people who are eager to give their time and talent to CMG. We personally asked every member that was eligible for the board position. We believe this was the most extensive and comprehensive "talent search" attempted for CMG in a very long time. They are literally the best and most competent members of our organization. That committee was comprised of Alan Schulman, Bill Jouris, Jeffry Schwartz, Lin Merrit, Michael Recant, Ray Wicks; Sid Finehirsh and Barry Sokolik. I want to publicly thank them for their hard work.
