Ballots for the run-off election must be cast by 1000 CT, February 18, 2016. In order to receive a ballot and vote, a member must have a current mailing address on file with APFA.

The newly elected National Officers will assume office on April 1, 2016 for a four-year term of office ending on March 31, 2020.

Only APFA members are eligible to vote in elections. If you are not yet a member, we strongly encourage you to join so that you will have a voice in the choice of National Officers. To become an APFA member, please click here.

Also, under APFA’s Constitution, in order to vote a member must be in good standing – not more than 60 days in dues arrears. If you are more than 60 days behind in your dues, or if you are not certain of your dues status, please contact the APFA Dues Department at [email protected] or call 817-540-0108, ext. 8151. Although the deadline for becoming in good standing is January 4, 2016, the National Ballot Committee urges members to do so before that date so that they have a longer period of time within which to cast their votes.
