As you know, the USBA Nomination Committee has forwarded a slate of candidates
for officers in the election to the Board of Directors for the next quadrennial.

Missing from that slate is the current Secretary Art Stegen. This decision is
questionable at best given Art's years of experience and impressive work ethic.
In addition to serving as a national team member and Olympic Coach in 1980, he
literally wrote the book on the sport! The resumption of the USBA newsletter
via email is just one examples of the things Art brings to USBA and its members.

Accordingly, there is a "write in" effort to make sure Art is on the ballot.
If you agree Art should be there, please provide the Executive Director with a
petition no later than 5:00 PM EST on 17 February 2006.

Forward a message by e-mail, fax or mail in time to reach the USBA office with
the following:

I, ________________________ support Arthur Stegen for the position of Secretary
and request that his name be placed on the ballot for election to the Board of
Directors of the United States Biathlon Association.

**You must be a current member of USBA to validate the petition.

The e-mail address of the Executive Director, Steve Sands is:USBASRS@...

The fax telephone number of the USBA office is:802 654 7830

The mailing address is:USBA Executive Director, 29 Ethan Allen Ave,
Colchester, VT 05446


Thank you.
