Introduction

It is time for the PRNs to begin the process of determining who will serve as officers in the coming year. If you are interested in being a PRN officer or in nominating someone, please contact your PRN’s chair.

Election Process

The Nominations Committee will consist of at least two individuals appointed by the PRN’s chair. These individuals may be the PRN’s current elected officers. Those who are on the Nominations Committee of a PRN will be ineligible to run for office in that PRN’s election that year. The Nominations Committee should prepare a slate of candidates and shall provide information related to election procedures to each candidate. The Nominations Committee shall also provide a timeline and list of expected duties. When possible, two or three candidates for each office shall be up for election. If only one candidate can be identified, an election will still be held, with voters given the option of identifying a write-in candidate. When there are more than three possible candidates, the PRN’s Nominations Committee will be responsible for narrowing the slate to three candidates. The Nominations Committee will obtain a brief (250 words) biographical sketch or candidate statement from each candidate.

Voting

As in previous years, PRN elections will be held online. PRN members will receive an e-mail from ACCP that outlines the voting procedure. Members will use their log-in and password to access the ACCP website. Each member will then be able to access the ballot for each PRN of which he or she is a current member.
