Appendix B: Lists of Positions and Honors Confirmed by the Membership

Appendix B

This is a listing of the people who have held Offices, positions, or honors for which election or confirmation by the NESFA Membership was (or has been) required. The original theory was that this listing would help Members to choose people deserving of future nominations; while this still has some validity, don't forget that there are many responsible positions not included in this list.

Officers

NESFA Officers are elected at the Annual Meeting, and serve until the following Annual Meeting. The first election of Officers was in 10/67; all subsequent Annual Meetings have been held in May.

BOSKONE CHAIRMAN and TREASURER

No.	Date	Appt.	Chairman	Appt.	Treasurer
Boskones before the foundation of NESFA
01	10-12 Sep 65		David A. Vanderwerf
02	11-13 Mar 66		David A. Vanderwerf
03	1-3 Oct 66		Erwin S. Strauss
04	1-2 Apr 67		Paul F. Galvin
After the establishment of NESFA, the Boskone (Committee) Chairman was appointed by the President, originally without Membership confirmation. Until 1975 these appointments were usually made at the previous Annual Meeting.
05	23-24 Mar 68	?/67	Paul F. Galvin
06	22-23 Mar 69	5/68	Leslie J. Turek
07	27-29 Mar 70	5/69	Anthony R. Lewis
The position of Treasurer was first added to the Boskone Committee in 12/70. Until 1979 it was merely an appointment by the Boskone Chairman, with duties varying from year to year (and often quite trivial); the date of appointment was usually not recorded.
08	12-14 Mar 71	5/70	William H. Desmond		Fred P. Isaacs
09	14-16 Apr 72	5/71	Fred P. Isaacs		(none)
10	9-11 Mar 73	5/72	Susan H. Lewis		Jill Eastlake
11	1-3 Mar 74	5/73	Donald E. Eastlake III & Jill Eastlake		Ann A. [Broomhead] McCutchen
12	28-30 Feb 75	6/74	Ann A. [Broomhead] McCutchen & R. Terry McCutchen		James F. Hudson
In 4/75 the Standing Rules were changed to require confirmation of the Boskone Chairman by the Membership. The rationale was that at the same time appointments began being made before the Annual Meeting (but after the previous Boskone), and thus by a President who might not be in office at the time of the con.
13	13-15 Feb 76	4/75	Ellen F. Franklin & James F. Hudson		George P. Flynn
14	18-20 Feb 77	3/76	Anthony R. Lewis		George P. Flynn
15	17-19 Feb 78	3/77	Jill Eastlake		Ann A. [Broomhead] McCutchen
16	16-18 Feb 79	4/78	Donald E. Eastlake III		Peter A. Neilson
In 8/79 the Standing Rules were amended to establish the Boskone Treasurer as an independent official, with appointment by the President and confirmation by the Membership.
17	15-17 Feb 80	5/79	Charles J. Hitchcock [BoskLone: cf. Section A.1(6)]	8/79	Wendell Yau Git Ing
18	13-15 Feb 81	4/80	Gail Hormats	9/80	Clarissa (Kris) Brown
19	12-14 Feb 82	4/81	Robert J. Spence (Lynx)	4/81	David A. Cantor
20	18-20 Feb 83	3/82	Patricia A. Vandenberg	4/82	David A. Cantor
21	17-19 Feb 84	1/83	Richard Katze	2/83	Joseph J. Rico
The Boskone 21 Chairman was the first to be appointed before the previous Boskone. In 8/83 the By-Laws were amended to specify that the Boskone is ordinarily held in the first quarter of the year, and the Chairman appointed in the fifth preceding quarter.
22	15-17 Feb 85	10/83	Ann A. Broomhead	12/83	Sharon Sbarsky
23	14-16 Feb 86	10/84	Mark L. Olson	1/85	Richard Ferree
24	13-15 Feb 87	10/85	Charles J. Hitchcock	1/86	Deborah A. King
25	29-31 Jan 88	10/86	James & Laurie Mann	3/87	Deborah A. King
26	27-29 Jan 89	11/87	David A. & Claire Anderson	3/88	Michelangelo J. Di Genio

Honors

FELLOWSHIP OF NESFA

Elect.	Fellows
This list includes all persons who have been elected Directors, Trustees, or Fellows of NESFA, listed by their dates of election. Under the original NESFA constitution, honorary Directors were elected at the Annual Meeting for two-year terms. The first (1968) set of Directors, however, were simply those who happened to sign the Articles of Incorporation; new Directors were first elected in 1970.
7/68	Paul F. Galvin, Anthony R. Lewis, Susan H. Lewis, Cory Seidman [Panshin], Leslie J. Turek, David A. Vanderwerf, Marilyn (Fuzzy Pink) Wisowaty [Niven]

5/70	for two years: Isaac Asimov, Judy-Lynn Benjamin [del Rey, 3/71], Ben Bova, Lester del Rey, William H. Desmond, Harry C. Stubbs (Hal Clement)
Under the By-Laws adopted in 3/71, the title was changed from "Directors" to "Trustees."

In 12/75 the Trusteeship was abolished, with the proviso that existing Trustees would serve out their terms. In 9/76 the Fellowship of NESFA was established. All former Directors and Trustees were retroactively declared to be Fellows as of the dates of their original election (Fred Isaacs declined). New Fellows have been elected in each subsequent year and installed at the NESFA anniversary banquet.
