The Elections Process
Members, chapters and clubs in Good Standing submit
recommendations to the Executive Director, who forwards them to the Elections
Committee. The Committee secures biographical information
from the members recommended for the
ballot. A specific office list is determined by the Committee. The Elections
Committee evaluates the qualifications of those on the specific office list.
They conduct confidential conference calls with potential candidates. The
Committee prepares the ballot based on the information
received as outlined above. Ballots are returned to a private Certified Public
Accountant for counting. The results
only are given to the Elections Committee. After the results are announced to
the members of the Fraternity, the ballots are destroyed by the CPA.
Please note: Alpha Gamma Delta policy states that Alpha Gamma Delta candidates do not campaign for a position and others do not campaign for her.
