You may vote for up to four candidates, including one write-in candidate, who will serve four-year terms on the board. Ballots that indicate more than four candidates will be void. The election ends at 5:30 PM (EST) on Friday, February 11, 2011.

Send a Proxy

CAA encourages you to attend the Annual Members’ Business Meeting at the 2011 Annual Conference in New York. If you cannot, please check the box appointing a proxy. By doing so, you appoint the CAA board officers named thereon—Barbara Nesin, Andrea Kirsh, Maria Ann Conelli, Sue Gollifer, Anne Goodyear, and DeWitt Godfrey—to vote, in their discretion, on such matters as may properly come before such a meeting.

A quorum of one hundred members is needed to hold the meeting; therefore CAA requests your proxy to ensure that it can take place. Please send your proxy by 5:30 PM (EST) on Friday, February 11, 2011.

Mac Users

If you use a non-Intel Mac that runs Tiger OS X 10.4, you will not see a Submit or Save button at the bottom of the voting form. To vote, please log into your CAA account on an Intel Mac or a PC.
