2023 Elections Timeline At the request of the ARSL Elections Committee Chair, we have shifted the two week voting period forward slightly to allow a little more time between that process and the start of the annual ARSL Conference. Nominations Open | Tuesday, June 14, 2022 Candidate Eligibility GuidelinesAll candidates must be ARSL members in good standing, and must maintain active ARSL membership for the duration of their leadership term. No more than one application from any one organization for candidacy shall be accepted. This is to limit conflict of interest and to keep a wide range of representation among all regions of ARSL. In the event we receive more than one, each application will be returned to both candidates for an “In-house” agreement. If it cannot be resolved internally, the Election Committee will make a decision as a whole and all decisions will be final.
