AGMA kicked off its 2023 National Officer and Governor Election on February 1. The deadline is fast for members who want to shape AGMA’s future and run for office!
DEADLINE REMINDER: Completed and signed CANDIDATE MATERIALS FORMS AND completed and signed NOMINATING PETITION FORMS must be received by the AGMA National Office no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on March 1, 2023.
KEEP IN MIND: All Candidates will be informed whether they have met the qualifications to run for office on or around March 20, 2023. AGMA staff will confirm that materials have been received but will not confirm that a candidate has provided a sufficient number of valid signatures or met the eligibility requirements prior to March 20, 2023. Candidates are strongly encouraged to submit several more than the minimum number of signatures on their Petition Form(s) in case one or more signatures on their Petition form(s) are found to be invalid. A Petition signature may be found invalid if, for example, the Petition signer is not a member in good standing or not of the appropriate Employment Category, Region, and/or Area as applicable.
