The Elections
At the Annual Election Meeting, anyone running for Co-President, Recording Secretary, or Corresponding Secretary will give a brief statement to those present. If a nominee is unable to attend the meeting, someone will read their statement in their place. The ballot (along with the nominee statements) will be emailed to the full membership, and voting will take place online and will be open for a full week.
