Voting Process
Chapter officers and candidates for the AMWA Board of Directors
are nominated by a 5-member Nominating Committee appointed by the
president.
The Nominating Committee secures the consent of each
candidate before announcing nominations.
The Nominating Committee announces its nominations to the
membership at least 6 weeks before the annual business meeting, which is held in May or June. Additional nominations may be proposed by letter to the
Nominating Committee no less than 30 days before the annual business
meeting.
Members unable to attend the annual business meeting may vote
by e-mail. All e-mail votes, however, must be received at least 2 days before the
annual business meeting. Announcement of all nominations are published
in the notice to all members of the annual business meeting. The announcement
also reminds members of their option to vote by e-mail.
All nominations are voted on by members present at the annual
business meeting. Election is by means of written ballot, a show of hands,
or by acclamation at the annual business meeting. |
