OMTA Annual Elections

OMTA's Executive Committee consists of five elected officers. President and Vice President are elected in even-numbered years. Secretary, Treasurer, and Membership are elected in odd-numbered years.

The Vice-President of OMTA oversees the election process. Nominations open in April and close at the end of the annual meeting (traditionally held in conjunction with the annual conference) in October. Ballots are mailed out to all voting members of OMTA immediately following conference and are due back by October 31. Ballots are counted in the presence of no less than two Executive Committee members who are not up for election. New officers (and exiting officers) attend our transition meeting in November.

In order to hold an elected office for OMTA, you must be a voting member of OMTA in good standing.

We recommend you read the job description, talk to the current officer in that position, and ask any questions you may have prior to running for office. We also recommend, that if running for President, you have had previous experience on the OMTA Executive Committee.
