  • This is part of the new Inductions System, this system is to insure we have a completed Candidate Information Forms, Unit Election Report and Unit Election Ballots ready for your Units Election.

  • Also due to the number of units and candidates, this helps our communications team in recording member contact information in our database as newly elected Candidates will be invited to join a new member portal that will help them on their Induction Journey.

      • For members who were not elected their information will be removed from the database and will not be contacted, but their information will remain on printed election Paperwork.
