Voting Academy Fellows and Members have the choice to cast their votes in mail or online formats for officers and trustee-at-large positions on the Board of Trustees and for proposed amendments to the Academy’s governance documents (e.g., Bylaws, Procedural Rules, etc.).

Vote Online

Availability notification of electronic voting will be distributed via e-mail to all Voting Fellows and Members who have registered their official membership e-mail address in the Academy’s membership database when the broadcast e-mail is prepared in October 2008.

Vote by Mail

Traditional mail ballot packets will be mailed to all Voting Fellows and Members immediately following the Annual Business Meeting. The packet will consist of a ballot, Voting Guide and a business reply envelope. The Academy’s election agent must receive the ballot by December 2008. Late ballot envelopes are not valid and will be marked as such and will not be opened.

Duplicate Votes

In the event of duplicate ballot votes by online AND mail, the Academy’s Election Agent will select the mail ballot format.
