2008 AALAS Election

Official ballots for the 2008 AALAS election were mailed in early June. As an AALAS member, you are eligible to vote for one vice president-elect candidate and one trustee and/or alternate trustee candidate from within your district. Please note that your district is determined by the address to which your ballot is mailed.

This is your opportunity to select a vice president-elect to serve as 2011 AALAS president and to decide who will represent your district for the next three years. Trustee and alternate trustee terms begin at the close of the 2008 National Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, and end at the close of the 2011 National Meeting in San Diego, CA.

The official ballot and the AALAS website include the names of all eligible candidates for each position, their position statement, photo, and background/credential information. View background information at www.aalas.org/association/ballot_info.asp (must be logged in to view).
