Alan Warren of Pennsylvania will chair the jury at Americover 2009, which takes place at the Holiday Inn at Boxborough, Mass., July 31 to August 2. Joining him on the panel are William Bauer and Ann Triggle of New York, Jeff Shapiro of Massachusetts, and Ken Nilsestuen of Ohio. All of the jurors are accredited American Philatelic Society national judges.

It will feature 180 frames of competitive philatelic exhibits, commercial and cachetmakers bourses, seminars and meetings. Admission to the show is free and open to the public. "Americover is the preferred venue for exhibiting illustrated mail and first day covers," Warren observes. "Cacheted FDCs (illustrated mail) as well as earliest known or documented uses of postage stamps (postal history) are the features of this show. The Grand Award winner at Americover is invited to enter the annual Champion of Champions competition held at the American Philatelic Society's StampShow the following August."

She is a past chair of the APS Committee on the Accreditation of National Exhibitions and Judges. Bauer's expertise includes U.S., Germany, British Pacific, Japan and Scandinavia among others. He has written extensively on Colorado postal history. He is a past president of the APS, and also chaired its accreditation committee.

He is a past president and current director of the Northeast Federation of Stamp Clubs that sponsors Philatelic Show, the annual WSP show held in May at the same location. Ken Nilsestuen collects and exhibits French area material such as French Africa, Madagascar, and Algeria. His specialties include postal history and postal stationery.
