Campaigning:
In the past, some candidates have distributed campaign materials before and during the Annual Conference. To ensure fairness to all candidates, there will be a $25 cap on the amount a candidate may spend on campaign materials. ALL MATERIALS must first be approved by the Election Committee before distribution to the Voting Members.
Please email elections.napalsa@gmail.com to obtain approval. Campaigning is not necessarily recommended or required for successful candidacy; it is simply an option.
