TAB Board Elections: Email voting concludes July 25

posted on 7.21.2014

TAB Board elections are underway for 10 of the 37 seats on the Board and votes are due by July 25.  Of those 10 seats, eight are held by directors eligible for re-election.

Nominations were solicited from the general membership earlier this summer.  The top two nominees in each category (three in the event of a tie) made the final ballot which is listed below.  Also listed is the slate of officers recommended by the Nominating Committee which is comprised of past TAB Chairmen.  Elections are conducted electronically as set forth in the TAB bylaws.

Voting began June 25 by email and reminders have since been sent to all TAB members.  Members may cast votes simply by replying to the email; there is no separate ballot to mark and return.

Results will be announced at the TAB Annual Convention Aug. 6-7 in Austin.
