Elections and Nominations Committee
The Elections Committee submits this provisional slate of Candidates for the 2018 Board Election for the consideration of AMIA Members. The Call for Nominations provided the Committee with four names submitted by the membership for consideration, as well as four current members of the board expressing interest in re-running. The Committee gave serious consideration to all prospective candidates recommended by AMIA members. The Committee additionally considered factors to ensure a slate of candidates that are committed, knowledgeable and representative of AMIA’s diverse membership.

Upcoming Election Dates
Deadline: August 21, 2018 – AMIA members wishing to run for any open AMIA board position may add their name to the list of candidates on the provisional slate by the nomination by petition process. Within one week of the announcement of the provisional slate, an interested candidate must start the petition process by notifying the Secretary and President of the Board declaring their intention to run.
Deadline: September 4, 2018 – All supporting signatures for a Nomination by Petition are due.
Verification of the petitions will be conducted by the Elections Committee and will consist solely of determining if the support of the candidate was intended by the AMIA member submitting the petition. Members who receive the required ten verified petitions will be certified as candidates. The final ballot will include their names in addition to candidates listed on the provisional ballot.
