NJEA USA members will elect TEN delegates to the NSO Representative Assembly to be held June 8-9, 2007 in Scottsdale, AZ.

 Here are the procedures which will be followed for this election:

•  The Elections Committee (consisting of Arthur Lehrhaupt and Joyce Wardrop, co-chairpersons; Liz Campanile, Thomas Hardy and Liz Rylak) will collect the names of all members who wish to be candidates for these delegate spots, ascertain that all candidates are members in good standing, notify all members of the names of all individuals seeking election as delegates, and conduct the election by secret ballot.
   

• Delegates will be elected by a plurality vote with an immediate runoff election only in the case of a tie.  Those candidates not elected as delegates shall be designated as alternates and ranked in order of the number of votes received.  Alternates will serve when an elected delegate is unable to attend the Representative Assembly.
   

• Anyone wishing to run for one of the ten delegate positions must notify Joyce Wardrop in writing by 5:00 p.m. on April 4, 2007.  Notices may be sent by regular mail or e-mail.  Notices must be received by this deadline.  Any notices which are not in Joyce Wardrop’s hands by then will not be valid.

Please note that Joyce Wardrop is the only person designated to receive candidate notifications.  Do not submit notices to Arthur Lehrhaupt or to any other member of the committee.
