by petition to any open position by submitting
the following documents to the ACR office prior
to 5:00 pm on August 31, 2007:

in good standing who support the petition candidate;

from each of those 100 members, in which the member
clearly states his/her desire to have his/her
name placed on the petition in support of the
particular candidate.
Note:
For the purposes of valid signatures on Nomination
Petitions, the term "current ACR member(s)
means all members in good standing prior to the
date on which ballots are sent, who have ACR membership
status as a Member; Practitioner/Educator/Researcher;
Advanced Practitioner/Advanced Educator; and/or

office as members of an Organizational Affiliate
