JAVS Fall 2007

AVS Moves to Electronic Voting In an effort to make our annual election process more efficient, and as a way ro further trim operation costs, the AVS board has voted to hold the society's next elections via electronic ballot. Electronic voting will save a considerable amount of money that is spent in printing and mailing costs, and will also make voting more conven ient for you, the AVS constituency. Please be sure that your email address is up to date with the AVS office by contacting Madeleine Crouch at info@avsnationaloffice.org.
