A New Resource for Applied
Plant Professionals
Last year, APS members accepted a constitutional change to conduct APS elections online. The change to online balloting has the potential to increase participation and save the society both time and money. So, for the first time, APS members will be able to cast their 2002 vote for APS officers online. APS members who have given their e-mail address to APS headquarters will receive a broadcast e-mail with instructions for voting online from the election company handling the 2002 APS elections, Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), Inc. (All members are encouraged to submit their e-mail addresses prior to the election to dkessler@scisoc.org.) A letter will be mailed to members who have not supplied an e-mail address to APS. The letter will provide instructions for voting online. For those members who do not have access to the Internet, a paper ballot can be requested by calling APS headquarters in May. Members will be able to access the online ballot directly from the e-mail message or by a link from APSnet. To ensure the validity of ballots, all members will receive a unique e-signature number. The web interface allows only one vote per individual. Voting begins May 1, 2002, and will close on May 31, 2002. Watch next month’s issue for the slate of candidates and their biographies and make sure to vote online!
