<p>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The 2024 Internet Society Board of Trustees Elections are coming up soon. As in recent years, the voting ballot will by default be sent to the chapter’s President as listed in the Chapter Portal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>*Please make sure to check <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">by</span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">20 January</span></strong> 2024 if the list of officers of your chapter is up to date in the Chapter Portal <<a href="https://admin.internetsociety.org/622619/User/Login" target="_blank">https://admin.internetsociety.org/622619/User/Login</a>>
so that your chapter can participate in the elections!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in">-If your chapter would like to appoint someone other than the President to receive the ballot on behalf of the chapter, you can indicate this by adding a Chapter "Voting Delegate” via the Chapter Portal (list of officers).<o:p></o:p></p>
