Election Memo

Hello Members,
This post should offer some clarity with regard to the return envelopes for our current election. When reading through the instruction page for how to cast your vote, you will find that we have asked that you print your name and sign the back.
There is a stamp on the back of the envelope that asks for more information (employee number), you do not need to include anything other than your legibly written name and your signature.
Again, please let us know if you have any questions and thank you to those who have taken the time to reach out in order to work with the Election Committee and for supporting our members. It is reassuring to know that we are all working together as we continue to grow.
In Solidarity,
Lenaea Sanders
