IACA Election - VP of Admin - Annie Mitchell

IACA Election Coverage – Vice President of Administration

This year there is one IACA board position up for elections: Vice President of Administration. Two (2) candidates are currently in the running; for more information on the candidates and to cast your vote, please visit https://iaca.net/meet-your-candidates/. Reminder there are two voting phases in the elections process – one to solidify the candidates’ position in the running and a final one to decide on the ultimate victor. Please remember to vote both times as your first vote will not carry over into the second phase. These podcast episodes serve as another medium for candidates to campaign and do further outreach outside of IACA resources. LEAP and the podcast Analyst Talk With Jason Elder are not a subsidiary of IACA. For any questions, concerns, or feedback on the podcast, please contact the LEAP team at leapodcasts@gmail.com.
