ILA Election Begins on Sunday
| |
On Sunday, all personal members of ILA will receive an e-mail message and survey link via Survey Monkey asking for their participation in the 2012 ILA Executive Board Election.
The link contains the candidate profiles and electronic ballot for the election and will allow personal members to vote online.
Members without e-mail addresses will be sent a paper ballot and printed candidate profiles. Any personal member that would prefer to vote by paper instead of electronically can request a paper ballot by contacting ILA at 312-644-1896.
If you are a personal member and do not receive this link on Sunday, please contact us immediately.
Polls close April 30.
