2022 AAFPRS National Elections

 

Eligibility to Vote in the AAFPRS National Elections

Only members who are in good standing and current in their dues in the following membership categories are eligible to vote: Member, Fellow, Retired (Member/Fellow) and Emeritus (Member/Fellow). Please note: Fellow refers to the membership category and not fellows in the fellowship program. Contact Member Relations to check on your membership category or to see if you are eligible to upgrade. 

2022 AAFPRS Elections Packet

A special 2022 AAFPRS Elections Information Packet  has been created to assist you in becoming familiar with the candidates and the 23 proposed bylaw amendments (a print copy version has also been mailed to eligible voting members without email addresses). The number of proposed bylaw amendments is larger than usual this year due to an ad hoc committee appointed by the Board to do a thorough review of the AAFPRS Bylaws. Please take the time in advance of the online elections opening to review the candidates and proposed amendments so you can cast your votes and fulfill one of the most important actions you can take as an Academy member.
