A short bio will be collected as a part of the nomination process.
If two or more candidates are nominated, a virtual election will take place via an electronic surveying tool to determine the outcome of the election. New Executive Board members, Regional Directors, and Student Representative shall be elected via electronic surveying tool by a majority vote from existing Executive Board members, Regional Directors, Student Representative, and general members.

The elected member(s) shall serve a term beginning on the first day of the next fiscal year, i.e. January.
