Anne M. Turner, chair of the 2004 Nominations Committee, has announced the preliminary slate of candidates for the 2004 election. Ballots will be distributed in late June, and winners will take office in November, following the annual conference. All voting members of CLA will receive a ballot for CLA officers and assembly representatives elected at-large. Section members will also receive a ballot to vote for section officers and section representatives to the assembly. This year, you will have an opportunity to vote on a paper ballot or on an electronic ballot.
Individuals may be added to the ballot by petition. Properly completed petitions must be submitted to the executive director within 25 days of publication of this report. Nominations for vice president/president elect require the signature of 2 percent of the voting members of CLA (33 signatures are needed). Nominations by petition for assembly-at-large positions require 25 signatures of voting members of the association.
Your voice in the association is important. Watch for your ballot, and vote!
