Make your vote count with a Proxy Designation!
We want every voter to cast a ballot. You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting on November 12, 2016, cast an absentee ballot or simply fill out a Proxy Designation form and give it to a candidate of your choice that is not already a GLA Director. Sitting GLA Directors are NOT allowed to accept Proxy ballots. That candidate will bring your signed form to the Annual Meeting, trade it for a secret ballot and then vote for three directors and one ombudsman, on your behalf. You do not need to attend the meeting or send in an absentee ballot. Your vote will count!
