WHO GETS ELECTED?
President
Each year the ACADIA membership elects a President. The President term goes through three phase: s/he serves as "president-elect" during the interval between the election and the conference, as "president" from conference-to-conference, and as "past president" from the conference until the next election.
Steering Committee
Each year the ACADIA membership elects half of the ten-member Steering Committee, and up to three alternates.
IJAC Editorial Board
The International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC) editorial board includes panels from four organizations (ACADIA, SIGGRADI, CAADRIA, & ECAADE). Half of ACADIA's Ed Board members are elected each year and serve two-year terms beginning the January following their election.
WHO CAN VOTE?
Members "in good standing"
Only current members may vote, which is defined in the bylaws as members who have paid their dues for the year. This limitation has generally been interpreted to mean that the member must be "in good standing" by the end of the balloting time (and prior to voting). You can check your current status by logging in to CAMEO....
VOTING
online elections
ACADIA elections are held online in March. At the start of balloting, an email message will be sent to members advising them that voting has begun and providing links needed for voting. A web site will be available containing information about the candidates and links to the voting system.
"voters pamphlet"
The elections committee will publish an online voters pamphlet with position statements by the candidates.
Note CAMEO will allow you to cast only one ballot a year.
During the balloting period in March, you will find a button ["Election"] on your CAMEO member page, along with a "voting authorization code". You will need the code when you cast your ballot. If you click on the [Election] graphic, CAMEO will direct your browser to the ACADIA election pages. When you submit your ballot from the election site, the system will email your votes (anonymously) to the elections committee. The elections committee will announce results in April.
