Nominations Procedures

A librarian of any member organization can make a nomination during the nomination period.
Nominations will be accepted from February 29, 2020 through April 4, 2020. After this date, the full slate of nominees will be announced via the Forum and e-mail.
Nominations must include the candidate’s name, member organization, nominated position, contact information (e-mail, phone, and fax), and confirmation that the nominee has agreed to run and will accept the position if elected.
Nominee names will be posted on the MOLA Forum as they are received.

Each nominee must submit a statement to the Administrator for publication via the MOLA Forum. Statements should not exceed 300 words and must include:

Elections

Ballots will be mailed to all member organizations on April 25, 2020. Ballots (one per member organization) are to be returned at the Annual Business Meeting on June 6 in Vancouver, Canada, at which time results will be tabulated and the new Board will be announced. Absentee ballots for those not attending the conference must be mailed to the Administrator and received by June 3, 2020. Only ballots received in the mail by that date or submitted at the Annual meeting will be considered valid. Honorary and emeritus members may not vote.

Reminder: MOLA resources, including the Forum, may not be used to promote candidates for Board elections. Doing so will result in immediate removal of the candidate from the nomination process.

Amended Voting Process for 2020-2021 Board of Directors

In lieu of physically mailed ballots, a link to vote online will be sent to all member librarians on April 25, 2020. Ballots will also include voting for new member organizations and emeritus members and an opportunity to submit revisions to the Atlanta Business Meeting minutes.

Please note that only one vote may be cast by each member organization. For organizations with more than one librarian, please coordinate amongst yourselves to submit one vote only. Duplicate votes from a single member organization will be discarded. Once it has been determined that there are no duplicate votes, all votes will be de-identified and tallied to avoid any association of ballot selection with the submitting organization.

All voting must be completed by 5pm ET on Friday, June 5, 2020 to allow for tabulation. Voting will close at 5:01pm ET on Friday, June 5, 2020.

In moving the originally scheduled Annual Business Meeting on Saturday, June 6, 2020, online, voting results will be sent out to all member organizations by email and posted on the forum. Results will be accompanied by reports from the Board (including financial reports) and committees (normally found in the printed conference program). Please submit for consideration any other business you would like shared with the membership as would have occurred at the Annual Business Meeting directly to acting President, Patrick McGinn by May 25, 2020.
