July 13, 2016 OCRA E-Bulletin
Don’t miss your chance to vote in NCRA's elections!
NCRA’s Constitution & Bylaws permits members to cast their votes in contested elections and on bylaws amendments via secure, online means, even if they can’t attend the Annual Business Meeting at the Convention & Expo in Chicago. But to exercise the right, members must have an active email address on file in NCRA’s membership database.
Friday, July 15 is the deadline to join NCRA or to provide an updated email address to NCRA in order to vote. To read more about voting eligibility and to ensure your email address is up to date with NCRA, please click here.
Did you know that an OCRA member is running for the NCRA Board of Directors in a contested election*? Do you know who the candidates are and what they see as the future of NCRA and the profession?

Also, the NCRA Elections Committee will host a live telephone town hall forum on Thursday, July 14 at 8:00 pm. Eastern. For more information and to request access to the town hall, please click here.
