The Executive Council (EC) approved the slate presented by the Nominations Committee for next year’s EC members. You may include any additional write-in names that are not included on the slate below, before the final ballot is presented to the membership for a vote.
To be included as a write-in candidate, the individual must be a member in good standing and must meet the conditions of the Constitution and By-laws. Please include the curriculum vitae of each candidate and determine beforehand that they are willing to have their name included on the ballot.
Signatures of a minimum of 4 % of the membership in good standing will be required for each write-in. The membership for the 2018 calendar year as of November 5 is 16.391, which means that 656 signatures are required for each candidate. Please assemble all signatures on a PDF file and send them with the information about your write-in candidate to lasa@pitt.edu.
You have six weeks to respond to this request, or until midnight EDT of January 1st, 2019. The final ballot will then be assembled and presented to the membership for a vote. It will also indicate which candidates were on the approved slate and which are write-ins.
