Express your interest or be nominated by someone using the link below by March 4th at: (https://forms.gle/DamTwJ3uePK3EiUT6). Confirmed candidates will be asked to submit a picture, written candidate statement, and/or a 1 minute video. Candidate information will be distributed to WACUHO members via WAVES and WACUHO website. For candidates attending WACE, there will be a candidate orientation, and candidates will be introduced during the candidate lunch. President-elect candidates will be asked to make a short 2-3 minute speech. Elections and results will take place during the Annual Business Meeting at WACE.

At the Annual Business Meeting during WACE, each institution has 1 voting representative (everyone is welcome to attend the meeting). This is usually the Senior Housing Officer or a designee. Each member institution gets 1 vote per position. Candidate information is distributed before WACE online and in the WAVES Institutions should caucus before the Annual Business Meeting to decide who to vote for. Votes 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.

The Technology Coordinators are non-voting members of the Executive Committee. After the election period is complete, the new Executive Committee will send out a call for interest in the appointed positions. The Technology Coordinators are selected by the Executive Committee.
