The deadline for Annual Chapter elections has been extended to April 10. Don’t forget to vote by then!
Ballots were sent to all California members by email earlier this month. If you haven’t received your ballot or cannot find it, please send us an email at contact@naswca.org and we will send you another ballot.
NOTE: Ballots cannot be shared with other members, as everyone’s ballot is unique.
