Second Board Ballot Mailing Sent

Due to a printer's error, the special postage-paid envelope for return of American Booksellers Association Board ballots to the association's accountant, KPMG, was inadvertently left out of last week's mailing to ABA bookstore members. On Monday, March 20, a second mailing -- including the envelope, another copy of the ballot and biographical data on the Board candidates, and the cover letter from ABA Nominating Committee Chair Cathy Langer of Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstore -- was sent to ABA member bookstores.

Ballots must be postmarked by Monday, April 17, 2006, and returned in the postage-paid envelope to KPMG. Ballots received by KPMG after April 24 will not be counted.

Included in the initial mailing was ABA's programming booklet for this year's BookExpo America. Watch for more news and announcements about ABA educational programming and special events at BEA at www.bookweb.org/aba/convention/ and in Bookselling This Week.
