The SOA Board of Directors’ approval of the ballot means they have reviewed the process followed by the SOA Nominating Committee and are satisfied that the Committee has carried out its charge, and followed policies and guidelines. The SOA Nominating Committee, not the SOA Board of Directors, endorses the candidates.
*Reserved Seat
The Board approved the Nominating Committee and Governance and Policy Committee’s recommendation to reserve one elected Board member seat in the 2024 election for an international member (live and have primary work focus outside of the U.S. or Canada). A minimum of two endorsed international candidates are included on the ballot for this reserved seat, and per policy, are identified (*). If any candidate, including a candidate for President-Elect, is elected, that reserved seat will be deemed filled, and other candidates may be elected only if they receive enough votes to be elected without regard to the reserved seat.
Voting Process
Associates who have been members of the SOA for at least five years and all Fellows are eligible to vote. Voting will open on August 19, 2024 and close on September 6, 2024.
