The STC election is scheduled to begin 9 March and end at 4:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on 30 March. In March, voting instructions and ballots will be mailed to members who selected this option on their 2011 applications and renewal forms. All other members will be emailed instructions for accessing the online ballot.
Please note, STC bylaws specify that the Vice President automatically becomes President the following year. Hillary Hart automatically succeeds to the office of President from her previous office of Vice President. Therefore, she does not appear on the ballot this year.
NOTE: All STC members must have paid their dues by 28 February 2011 to vote in the election.
A full copy of the current bylaws is posted on the STC website at www.stc.org/PDF_Files/bylaws.pdf.
