Get to Know the Candidates

You can learn more about these candidates in several ways. The President-Elect candidates' video recorded campaign speeches plus a roundtable discussion moderated by Penultimate President Ed Robbins are available on the SOA Web site. All candidates provided a biography containing their designations, area of practice, job title, employer, brief description of the type of work they currently do, professional background, volunteer experience and the answer to a strategic question.

Separate Ballot for Section Council Positions

As usual, there will be a separate ballot, for Section Council positions in each of the Sections. Section Council elections have different constituencies from the election for Board of Directors. Section members must be paid current with their 2009 dues by June 30 in order to vote in this election. Each of the Section Council candidates provided a biography containing professional background, SOA activities, relevant experience and answered a leadership question.
