       GSA’s success depends on you—its members—and the work of the officers serving on GSA’s Executive
 Committee and Council. Members will receive instructions for accessing a member-only electronic ballot via our

     secure website, and biographical information on the nominees will be online for you to review at that time.
Paper versions of both the ballot and candidate information will also be available upon request. Please help continue

                                       to shape GSA’s future by voting on these nominees.
