The election notice and ballots will be mailed to the New York membership on Thursday, Aug. 26, and the deadline for ballots to be returned and received by AAA is 9 a.m. Central on Thursday, Sept. 16.
In San Francisco, Captain Stephen Roach was the only candidate for Chairman; therefore, Captain Roach is elected Chairman for a two-year term beginning Nov. 1.
The candidates for San Francisco Vice Chairman are First Officer Bill Boyd and First Officer Pete Lewis. Since no nomination round is necessary, candidates’ resumes will be mailed to the San Francisco membership on Thursday, Aug. 19. The election notice and ballots will be mailed to the San Francisco membership on Thursday, Aug. 26, and the deadline for ballots to be returned and received by AAA is 9 a.m. Central on Thursday, Sept. 16.
We encourage all members in good standing to exercise your right to vote for the candidates of your choosing. As a reminder, all election ballots must be postmarked. There is no provision for hand-delivery.
