CALL TO MEETING
The Electronic Association of Parliamentarians will hold a special meeting on Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 7:30PM Central Time for the purpose of electing permanent officers for a two-year term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting.
In accordance with our bylaws and provisos, nominations for the offices of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer will be made from the floor. All officers must be members of EAP, and the treasurer must be a resident of the United States. To assist in the nomination process, all individuals interested in serving in any capacity may notify the secretary who will submit the name of each individual who meets the eligibility criteria.
The meeting will be conducted using FreeConferenceCall.com, which offers over 63 international dial-in numbers (Japan and Malaysia included). For those residing in countries not supported, we can provide support for VoIP to ensure global participation.
