SLA PNW Chapter 2010 Board Election
The SLA PNW Chapter's online ballot for the 2010 President-elect position is now available! Voting is open to all members of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Special Libraries Association. The ballot will close at 11:59PM, October 10, 2009. The link to the online ballot was emailed to the SLA PNW ListServ.
Get Out the Vote!
Here is a reposting from the LinkedIn Future Ready Group:
We are working hard to get the highest voter turnout percentage in the history of the SLA. With typical voter participation at about 25% of the members, it will take some time and outreach to makes sure everyone gets the message. Please make sure to remind your colleagues that their vote counts and the leadership they choose will drive the future direction of the association.
Since we all know the value of information and that an informed voter will cast an informed vote I have tried to find various resources to learn more about the opinions and thoughts of the candidates. Please see the following and share with others that want to know more about our leadership. If you have additional resources or suggestions on “getting out the vote” please email Christian Gracy at cgray@atlasconsultinginc.com
