Members

If your district/company is currently not a member of AWBD you will need to fill out the membership application and mail it with a check for dues.

The District/Company is the member.  All individuals that are associated with the member district/company are called “member representatives”.

You can find that information here.  Look for Nominating Info Packet.  Also, there is a Nominating Committee Workshop at every AWBD Mid Winter Conference, where they discuss the qualifications and your questions.

Only one member representative is designated to cast the official ballot for an Association member.  Members (the district/company) must be in good standing with AWBD and may vote for no more than three At Large Trustee candidates and for only one candidate for their respective Regional Trustee position.  Ballots are cast at our AWBD Annual Conference.
