Elections for open positions on the MALCS Executive (EC) & Coordinating Committees (CC) take place annually at the Summer Institute.
In 2016, we are launching an online election process consistent with the bylaws which will occur in the month prior to the Summer Institute (July 5 15-July 25, 2016).
Update 7/2/16:Â
Dear Malcistas,
Given the time crunch and holiday weekend, the MALCS executive committee (EC) has voted to change/extend the dates for our elections to July 15-25.
Hope you vote and see you in Laramie for our next Summer Institute.
