The election will be conducted at the spring conference at the Cronkite School at Arizona State University Downtown. All individual members present will be eligible to vote, along with a single representative from each SABEW’s 221 institutional members. SABEW conducted online elections for the board in 2011-13.
Kevin G. Hall, SABEW president, said that electronic voting did result in slightly more voter participation. “But it was more costly,” he said. “The change is part of our effort to hold down costs wherever we can.”
