Our bylaws limit the AAUW California Board of Directors to twelve members, including President, President-Elect, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Directors. In 2020 we are voting to elect eight positions:
- 7 Directors (two-year term 2020-2022)
- 1 Secretary (two-year term 2020-2022)
There will be a 3-week voting period from April 17 – May 8, 2020.
We provide every member the opportunity to vote electronically. The roster will be requested from AAUW in early March, so every branch has time to make sure that all email and mailing addresses are correct.
When the election period starts, each member with a valid email address on file will receive an email message containing a personal invitation to vote. There will be a link to the ballot. Members who do not have a working email address will be mailed a postcard with information about how to vote online.
