Re:Appointments and vacancies to the Advisory Council on Equal Employment
Opportunity
___________________________________________________________________________________
This memorandum requests that the Internal Operations Committee appoint Philip H.
Arnold and Nathan D. Johnson to vacant seats on the ACEEO. Both have expressed
interest in filling the Veteran’s seat which we only have one at this time. The ACEEO
approved their membership on August 23, 2013.
The ACEEO requests that a new Veteran’s seat be created to accommodate both
individuals. The ACEEO wants to replace the Business Member Seat with a Veteran’s
Member Seat to accomplish this goal. The ACEEO has not had any inquiries or
applications regarding the vacant Business Seat since Victor Geisler resigned his position
in May 2012.
Also, please accept the resignation of Dr. John al-Amin who represented the Education
Member Seat on the Advisory Council. Dr. al-Amin has since relocated to Southern
California. The ACEEO plans to advertise for the vacancy in the near future.
