IFT Leadership Election Opens May 1

摘要

As you know, the Leadership Election is fast approaching. Beginning May 1, voters can reach their electronic polling place from any Internet-connected computer in the world via a link on the IFT homepage, www.ift.org. The link will remain active for the duration of the election, until June 1, 2005. For information on election procedures, including important instructions for members who do not use e-mail, see page 72. I look forward to this election and the likelihood that this convenient, modern ballot method will raise your awareness and encourage you to vote. I am pleased to report that the online voting system has been extensively tested by volunteer and staff working groups and fully operational since February. Twenty Divisions, 11 Sections, and the IFTSA will have been using it by the time this article appears. Their feedback has been closely monitored and used to improve practices.
