AVVA

It’s Election Time

BY KATHY ANDRAS, AVVA ELECTION COMMITTEE CHAIR

It is the duty of regional directors to contact all state representatives in your region to ensure elections are being conducted for state representative or president and chapter representative. By now, an election committee in your state should have been appointed. It is the job of the election committee to check membership numbers, provide ballots, and conduct the elections in the way described in the AVVA Policy and Procedures manual.

Remember, if an election is not held, we will not appoint a state representative or president, nor will we conduct an election at a later date. If we must, we will select a point of contact. The point of contact will not have voting privileges at national and state elections.
