PITTSBURGH — In the coming weeks, our members will have the chance to exercise one of the most important privileges of membership in the WPA: the right to vote for branch officers. The procedure for conducting branch elections is spelled out in the WPA's By-Laws (Article VI, Sections 605 and 606). Put simply:- Candidates may be nominated from a nominating committee appointed by the branch president and also from the floor at the election meeting;- Each adult life-benefit member may vote once for each office;- Elections shall be by a majority of those present at the meeting; and- Officers elected at the meeting shall be installed immediately. According to the Association's By- Laws, an "adult life-benefit member" is a person who has attained the age of 16 and has a life insurance certificate with the WPA. All such adult life benefit members are eligible to vote. To run for office, the By-Laws state a candidate must be an adult lifebenefit member age 18 or older who is not: (1) directly involved in litigation against the WPA; (2) a full-time or general agent; (3) licensed to sell for another life insurance company; or (4) a spouse of any of the above.
