Watch for your email this week and VOTE!
NATA officer elections occur in the spring of even-numbered years. Three board positions are voted on by membership: president-elect, secretary, and treasurer. These leadership roles are highly valued by our organization as a way to serve our profession. NATA has a strong history of leaders who are collaborative, creative, dedicated, professional, and care deeply about members and the advancement of art education in Nebraska and globally.
Voting will be processed online during the 2016 election via a secure ballot voting system. All NATA members will receive an email weekly with a voting link during the month before elections close February 15th. Once you place your vote, you will not receive any further email reminders. All members will be notified of the election results after the close of the election.
