Good Morning Colleagues,
Today is the final day to cast your ballot in this year’s SRI Board Election. Voting remains open through midnight tonight. We are fortunate to have a slate of ten strong candidates running for four open board seats.
We use the process of ‘approval voting’ in our board elections. With approval voting, each affiliate can vote for as many candidates as they think are qualified for the role of board member. You are not limited by a number of votes. Instead, you will review each candidate’s materials and then, if you believe they meet the criteria outlined above and would serve well as a board member, you can endorse them by acting your vote for that candidate. Approval voting is used by many organizations that are similar to SRI’s affiliate structure and we believe this strengthens our electoral process.
The four candidates who receive the most votes will be named as members of the SRI Board for a term of four years, beginning in January 2020.
If you are already an SRI Affiliate, a ballot was sent to the email address you used to register.
If you are not yet an SRI Affiliate but would like to participate in this election, you may do so by completing the affiliate form found here. Once you’ve submitted an affiliation form, a ballot will be sent to you with your affiliation confirmation. It should arrive within minutes of your affiliation form submission. If you do not receive a ballot or have difficulty completing the form, please contact Chris at chris@schoolreforminitiative.org.
