Important Reminders and Voting Procedures for ASHA Virtual Annual Meeting

The ASHA Virtual Annual Member Meeting will be hosted on Zoom Wednesday, February 17, 2021. The ASHA Virtual Annual Member Meeting will feature reports from ASHA President, Executive Director, Treasurer, a Registry Report and a membership vote on populating the member appointed seats on the Nominating Committee for Directors and the ASHA/ASR Merger Proposal.

All 2021 members interested in attending the virtual meeting need to register as soon as possible. Once registered you will receive your individual meeting access information. Any 2021 eligible voting members who have not submitted a vote via an online or mail-in proxy and intend to vote live during the meeting will need to be attending the Zoom webinar on a computer or the Zoom app on a smartphone or tablet.

Below we have provided key points to remember when voting during the meeting and tips on how to access and use Zoom meetings and their features.

ASHA Member Online Voting

MEMBERSHIP VOTE IMPORTANT REMINDERS

    If you are voting in person you must participate in the Zoom meeting via the internet or the Zoom app on a smart phone or tablet.  This will ensure the integrity of the voting process and ensure that your vote is properly counted.  It is fine to attend the meeting by calling in phone to listen in on the proceedings, but you will not be able to cast a vote.  If you previously submitted a proxy via online voting or mail in and do not wish to change your vote, it is not necessary to vote again. To access the voting platform on Zoom, you will be able to move your mouse or cursor to the bottom of the Zoom Screen.  A number of features will be highlighted.  Click on the “Chat” feature and a clickable link will appear that will place you in the voting platform.  Please use that link to access the official ballot; enter the personal identifying information -- then you will be ready to vote. At various points during the ASHA Virtual Annual Membership Meeting, there will be an opportunity for discussion.  Please use the “raise your hand” function on the Zoom platform – again, this is at the bottom of the Zoom screen -- and you will be recognized.  Speakers will be limited to 2 minutes each.  No additional motions will be accepted during the voting portion of the meeting.
