2008 CLA Election Slate Announced
The 2008 CLA Nominations Committee has announced the preliminary slate of candidates for the 2008-09 CLA election. Electronic voting will occur in mid-August, and winners will take office in November, following the annual conference. Members will have the option of requesting a paper ballot. All voting members of CLA will have an opportunity to vote for CLA officers and Assembly representatives elected at-large. Section members will also be able to vote for section officers and section representatives to the Assembly. Sections that do not submit candidates for the ballot will conduct special elections after the conference.
Individuals may be added to the ballot by petition. Properly completed petitions must be submitted to the Executive Director, Sue Negreen, CAE, 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 (54 signatures are needed). Nominations by petition for Assembly-at-large positions require 25 signatures of voting members of the association.
This year's ballot will also include proposed revisions to the CLA Bylaws. Your voice in the association is important. Watch for your ballot, and vote!
