Expanded Voting Pool
While the voting process has not changed, the pool of voters is larger and more inclusive. The bylaws revisions now grant voting rights to PPAI members in good standing from the business services, multi-line representatives, and international distributor and international supplier member categories. In the past, only suppliers and distributors could vote in the association's board elections. In this year's election, all PPAI member companies will be able to cast votes for one distributor and one supplier from the aforementioned candidates. The election will be conducted via electronic voting and paper ballots and the new board members will take office following The PPAI Expo 2013. The results of the election will be announced in mid-October.
