For your immediate attention
Dear Black Theatre Network Members:
The 24thAnnual Conference in Los Angeles, California was a great success with exciting and intellectually stimulating panels, workshops, and performances. However, during conference proceedings it was revealed that Vice President, LaTanya Reese-Rodgers, had resigned effective Monday, August 2, 2010 immediately following the conference. Please see letter of resignation.
Furthermore, the bi-annual elections of BTN Officers did not occur prior to our annual conference, as is customary, which left a void in the organization’s Executive Board that was to be sworn in at the conference. Consequently, in an effort to maintain stability, the Executive Board designed a plan of succession and election of new officers. The plan included my staying on for one (1) year as Acting President/Immediate Past President to give the President Elect an opportunity to transition into this critical role of leading the organization. In an effort to come up with a complete slate of nominees, the floor was opened to nominations at the annual business meeting on Sunday, August 1, 2010. Additionally, the membership voted to extend the call for nominations until August 14, 2010 to allow members not in attendance at the conference an opportunity to nominate candidates. (See call for nominations)
This comes to request your participation in the Bi-Annual BTN Executive Board elections by first nominating members to the board and later casting your vote for the 2010-2012 officers. Per the constitution, this elections process must be completed and the new board installed prior to the end of the current fiscal year at midnight on September 30, 2010.
These are transitional times for BTN and you must take your responsibilities sincerely and with great care. More than ever we need officers that understand the handling of the organization and that will jump into their duties with minimal transition time.
Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. If further information or details are needed I may be reached at (850) 656-9061, or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
