ELECTION OF OFFICERS:
A)
The
officers shall be elected to a one-year
term of service with the option of
re-running in the same position if he/she
chooses and is eligible. If a current
officer would like to serve in another
position on the Governing Council, he/she
may be re-run for another position as long
as he/she remains eligible.

The term will run April 1 of the election
year to April 1 of the following year.
Elections shall be conducted on an annual
basis. Vacant positions for the coming
year will be announced just prior to the
ACPM Annual Meeting in February and
candidates will be voted into office
within three weeks of the meeting.
C)
The GC will solicit nominations from the
entire RPS membership ("call for
nominees") just prior to and during the
Annual Meeting. Each nominee will submit
his/her CV and a brief statement of
interest to the GC President. These
documents will be posted on the ACPM
website for viewing by all RPS membership
no later than two weeks after the meeting.
Additional supportive documents will be
permitted but not required.
D)
All current members of the RPS as defined
in Article III will be eligible to vote
for officers. The GC will present a ballot
which each member may use to vote for
officers. Voting will be done using an
online system to be administered by ACPM
staff. Voting will begin no later than two
weeks following the Annual Meeting and
will be open for one week. A majority of
the returned ballots will be necessary to
elect each officer.
E)
In the event of a tie between two or more
candidates, the GC voting members will
break the tie with a separate vote between
these candidates.
F)
Newly elected officers assume full office
