For Starters Members encouraged to vote in upcoming branch elections Holiday Basket program spreads the fraternal spirit PITTSBURGH - WPA branches are doing their share to spread the fraternal spirit this holiday season by participating in our annual Holiday Basket program. The idea is simple. Members donate non-perishable foods and other items, while the WPA supplies a turkey or ham to complete each basket. The Home Office will also donate $35 for each basket (up to three baskets per branch) to purchase additional items. Branch volunteers then prepare the baskets and deliver them to families in need living in the branch’s community. For more information on the Holiday Basket program, call us at 1-800-848-7366. PITTSBURGH - As the holiday season approaches, so, too, does the time for members to exercise one of the most important privileges of membership in the WPA: the right to vote in branch officers elections. By running for a branch office or simply voting at your branch's election meeting, you can affect your branch's future. The procedure for conducting branch elections is spelled out in the WPA's By-Laws (Article VI, Section 606). Put simply:- Candidates are nominated 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 are 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 policy with the WPA. All such adult life benefit members are eligible to vote. However, to run for an office, the Association's By-Laws state that 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. To find out when your branch will conduct its election of branch officers, check this month's "Branch News" section, or contact your branch's officers. We encourage all eligible members to exercise their rights and vote. 2005 Schedule of WPA Branch Family Christmas Parties Branch City/State Date Time Location 0010.......Barton, OH ...............
