Any JALT member is allowed to run for a position on the local chapter executive board in general elections in December. If a member wishes to run for a position, he or she should make this known in the fall to the board of the local chapter so that his or her name can be placed on the ballot that is sent to all members of that chapter. Statements of position can be printed in the Fukuoka JALT newsletter. The current board is charged with organizing the program into the following March to assure a smooth change of hands. There has been a little confusion over elections.
Any member is eligible to run for any position in the general elections.
