It's that time of year again — time for the KREIA election. The Election Committee would like to inform you of the election procedure.

KREIA is run by a board of directors consisting of five officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Treasurer Elect), twelve at-large board members, the immediate Past President, and the Parliamentarian.

The officer positions serve for a one-year term, while the at-large board members serve for a two-year term, with six new members being elected each year. The only exceptions are when an at-large board member chooses to run for an officer position before his/her two-year term has expired or has to resign prior to the end of his/her two-year term.

This year you will be able to choose to vote in person at the June 25th meeting or online at the KREIA website. In-person and online voting will end promptly at 7 p.m. Eastern on June 25th. Those elected at the June meeting are strongly recommended to attend the July board meeting and will be sworn in to take office at the July regular meeting.

All board members are required to actively participate on at least one committee. Several members are actively involved with more than one committee, and several are committee chairs. In order for KREIA to be successful, all board members are required to be active members helping at all KREIA events.

If you are interested in running for the KREIA Board, please email Michelle at Michelle@rawnlawfi ... Read More…
