Candidate Forum Saturday
Our chapter is holding its annual Local Council officer elections on Saturday, June 27th, and we want our members to be informed of each candidate's background, experience, and platform before they vote.

Attend our Candidate Forum this Saturday, June 20th from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Zoom to hear the candidates give statements and answer questions submitted by fellow members. Do you have a question for the candidates? You can submit through this form or by emailing [email protected].

Register for the forum here.

Mail-in Ballots Going out Soon
This year, we will hold an open voting period that begins on June 27th and runs to 5 p.m. on Friday, July 3rd in order to accept ballots by mail. This is the first year we are offering mail-in ballots as an option. We will mail election packets with candidate information and the ballots to all members.

If you do not need or want a mail-in ballot, please fill out this quick form. You can also update your mailing address through this form. Opting-opt will allow us to reduce the number of packets we need to print and mail, so please consider this!

Local Convention Hub

We now have a dedicated page on our website for this year's Convention. It has all the information you need about how to vote, who the candidates are, and what to expect. Candidate statements will be posted by Saturday morning.

Save the Dates
We will hold Convention in two parts:

Saturday, June 27th, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. CST
State of the Chapter presentation
Annual Treasurer's Report
Candidate Statements + Voting

Saturday, July 25th, 2 p.m. CST
Discuss and vote on proposed Bylaw Amendments and Political Resolutions

Open Call for Bylaw Amendments & Political Resolutions 
Finally, we are accepting proposals for bylaw amendments and political resolutions to consider and vote on during the July 25th portion of Convention. Bylaw amendments add, remove, or alter the text of our chapter's bylaws. Political resolutions are the same type of document we typically vote on during General Meetings. We will provide more information about this process in the coming weeks, but you can read about how to write a resolution here.

Amendments and resolutions must be submitted to [email protected] by members in good standing by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, July 12th.

If you have any questions, please email us!

Thanks & Solidarity,
