Seeking Board Nominations
Deadline for State Board Nominations Applications Open for State Board Approaching Quickly
Interested in getting involved in HLAA-WI? Applications are now being accepted to fill board vacancies. Voting will be for four board positions. There is one vacancy and three incumbents are running for another term. Four board terms expiring this year and three of the incumbents are planning to run for a new three-year term so there is one vacancy to be filled. Consider running for one of the positions and help lead Wisconsin HLAA. The Nominating Committee will propose the slate of candidates to be voted on by email ballot and in-person voting at the annual meeting in Portage on October 14.
The nominating committee will present a slate of candidates from the applications received. The ballot listing the slate of candidates, along with the annual meeting announcement, will be sent to all current Wisconsin HLAA members at least 30 days prior to the election via email. Voting is by email, regular mail and in person at the annual meeting.
The state board meets four times a year at various locations or online, with one or two of those meetings online.
