SWANA Elections Coming Soon
It's that time of the year again! SWANA elections are upon us, and we need YOUR help to spread the word!
SWANA Elections will begin on June 15, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. (EDT) and close one month later on July 15, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. (EDT)
All members will receive a ballot to vote for International Board officers and Bylaws Amendments. Private sector and small business members also will receive a second ballot to vote for private sector directors.
During previous elections, we've heard of members who didn't receive a ballot. The cause varies from person to person, but in most cases it is caused by server blocks and email settings. In an effort to address these technical issues beforehand, please let your members know that they should:
- Add swana.org and informz.net to the safe sender list in their emails.
- Ask their IT team/department to whitelist SWANA's IP address: 97.65.79.49.
- If problems persist, please contact Caressa Morris at cmorris@swana.org or 240-494-2238.
Please help us spread the word and encourage your chapter members to vote.
