Express your interest or be nominated by someone using the link above by March 5th. All confirmed candidates will be asked to submit a picture, written candidate statement, and a one minute video. 

 

Candidate information will be distributed to WACUHO members via WAVES and the WACUHO website.

 

For candidates attending WACE, there will be a candidate orientation, and candidates will be introduced at one of the lunches. President-elect candidates will be asked to make a short speech. Elections and results will take place during the Annual Business Meeting at WACE.

At the Annual Business Meeting during WACE, each institution has one voting representative, though everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend the meeting. This is often the Senior Housing Officer or a designee. Each member institution gets 1 vote per position. Candidate information will be distributed before WACE online and in WAVES, and institutions should caucus before the Annual Business Meeting to decide who to vote for. Paper ballots are counted during the meeting and if there are any ties, a run-off vote is taken. Positions are elected by a simple majority and announced at the end of the Annual Business Meeting.

To be a member of the Executive Committee, you must be employed by a member institution. There are no experience or years of service prerequisites to serve on the Executive Committee. For positions such as President/President Elect or Treasurer, it is recommended that candidates have past experience serving on committees or other involvement in the association for better context and understanding of processes.

There are a number of benefits to you and your candidacy by attending WACE! Some of these include the ability to attend the candidate session, expand your network, and observe the current Executive Committee member responsibilities. However, if circumstances do not allow for you to be in attendance, it is not a candidacy requirement.
