The National Environmental Health Association ballot for the offices of Second Vice President and Region 7 Vice President will be open to all NEHA members on March 1. The online balloting period will take place until March 31.

You can view information about all of the candidates at http://tinyurl.com/nehaelection2011. NEHA has posted a short statement about me. I have an expanded statement of my candidacy on this blog.

To explain: the NEHA Board of Directors consists of the National Officers (President, President Elect, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, and Immediate Past President) and the 10 Regional Vice Presidents. The RVP's serve 3 year terms and may be re-elected. The national officers ascend through a 5 year process then rotate off the board.

Please take the few minutes to vote if you are a NEHA member. If you need information about the voting process, contact the always helpful Denver staff at 303-756-9090 or nehaelections@neha.org.
