Voting delegates (alternates) will submit their email address to the business manager via a credential submission form. The form will be distributed prior to the annual meeting. Delegates will receive a designation on the conference name badge at check in. At the beginning of the voting meeting session, we will verify the attendance of voting delegate/alternates.* Anyone not present at the voting business session, will not receive the link for voting.  Votes will be tallied electronically per the bylaws at the amount each department receives.
