Board election to be held electronically
The ballot for the national Board of Directors election will be open from Jan. 13 through Jan. 27. Designated voting representatives for each member organization and member individuals will be able to cast ballots electronically.
UNOS partners with VoteNet Solutions Inc., an election software company, to allow voting representatives to view the Board ballot online and register their votes via a secure web application.
