Three positions on the Executive Committee will become vacant every year. As these terms expire, elections for the vacant Executive Committee positions will be held in November - December of each year, with three members being up for election to a three year term. Nominations will be considered at any time from September 1 through November 15, after which time nominations will be closed. The Secretary will certify that nominees and their nominators are members in good standing. Ballots will be issued by email or by mail to those who do not have email access.
Voting can be either by email or by mail.
All votes must be received by December 20 of the current year. If a seat on the Executive Committee becomes vacant for any reason during an unexpired term, the Executive Committee shall appoint , by majority vote, a replacement for the vacant seat. Such an executive Committee member shall serve until the next Annual Meeting at which time the replacement Executive committee member shall step down and a special election will be held to fill the position for the remainder of the unexpected term, unless the term is due to expire at the Annual Meeting. In this instance, elections will be held normally to fill vacant seats on the Executive Committee. The President shall have the power to appoint committees to advise him or her to implement programs or activities as the need arises.
