Nomination Process
The Nomination Process is announced at the 3rd quarterly meeting and the Ballot results are announced at the last quarterly meeting. The deadline for receiving nominations will be no later than 1 month prior the fourth (4th) Quarterly Meeting. The timeline will be explained at the third (3rd) Quarterly Meeting to the entire membership and again via email following the meeting. All Nomination and Election information will only be sent to only paid members via email. All information is time sensitive.

Where officers are to be elected by members or any class or classes of members, such election may be conducted by email in such manner, as the Board of Directors shall determine.
