About the Board
The CAA Board of Directors is charged with CAA’s long-term financial stability and strategic direction; it is also the association’s governing body. The Board sets policy regarding all aspects of the association’s activities, including publishing, the Annual Conference, awards, fellowships, advocacy, and committee procedures.
About the Election
CAA members elect four members from the above slate to the Board. All members received a ballot and the candidates’ biographies and statements in December (by postal mail or e-mail; please change your e-mail communication status on the CAA website to receive an e-ballot for future elections).
You can either return your ballot by mail or vote online before the Annual Members’ Business Meeting at the 2008 Annual Conference in Dallas–Fort Worth; you may also cast your ballot there in person. Voting ends at 5:00 PM CST on Friday, February 22, 2008.
Results are announced at the close of the meeting, and new Board members take office in the spring. If you wish to vote during the conference, CAA provides computers in the registration area for electronic ballots and a ballot box for paper ballots.
Meet the Candidates at the Annual Conference
We urge you to attend the Meet the Candidates session at the conference, held Thursday, February 21, 5:00–5:45 PM CST—just prior to Convocation. Please take this opportunity to hear the candidates before voting.
