National Officer Election to be Rerun Oct 25, 2012 - Posted by: National Executive Council
Dear Members:
As stated in our letter to the members on September 21, 2012, Article VII, Section 10 of the AMFA Constitution provides our members’ the right to protest any election in which the member believes AMFA election rules or Department of Labor regulations were violated, and that eight protests were filed for the National Officer Election. Accordingly, the National Executive Council (NEC) officers that were not affected by the protests conducted a thorough investigation of the issues raised within these protests.
The NEC officers conducting the investigation then consulted with AMFA legal in a detailed review of our findings. Additionally, we debated all of the relevant facts and have determined that a rerun election is warranted.
The process to conduct the rerun election has begun and we anticipate mailing ballot packages by the end of November and counting by the end of December 2012. This timeline complies with the basic guidelines for officer elections as provided for by the Department of Labor and the AMFA Constitution and accommodates the logistics associated with conducting an election.
