SBN Members in District 1:  

Check E-Mail for BOG Election Ballots

 

State Bar of Nevada members in Clark County should be sure to check their e-mail for their 2014/15 State Bar Board of Governors (BOG) election ballots. The ballots will be e-mailed to Clark County members tomorrow, Friday, May 9. Members who don't receive their ballots and wish to vote may contact Gale Skala at [email protected] or (702) 382-2200. Members should check their spam boxes before contacting the bar; legitimate ballots will be from Intelliscan.

 

BOG elections are divided by district; bar members vote only for candidates located in their districts. Currently only District 1 (Clark County) is holding a contested election. There are four vacant seats in that district. The District 4 (Washoe County) election was uncontested. The bar congratulates Ann Morgan on her reappointment to the BOG.

 

The Board of Governors is comprised of 15 members representing the four state districts defined in Supreme Court Rule 81. Elections are held annually and governors serve two-year terms. For more information on the BOG elections and the District 1 candidates, visit the state bar's website.
