For the second year in a row, SAF members can vote electronically, through a secure, online election portal for their Council representative.

For the second year in a row, SAF members can vote electronically, through a secure, online election portal for their Council representative. The annual elections for Retailers, Wholesalers and Growers Councils have historically been handled via a mailed ballot.

“The board made the switch from paper to an electronic election last year as part of an ongoing effort to manage the Society’s resources wisely and, at the same time, make it easier than ever for members to vote,” said SAF President Martin Meskers, AAF, of Oregon Flowers, Inc., in Aurora, Oregon.

Thirteen candidates are running for nine open Council seats. Candidates for the Growers and the Wholesalers Councils are running uncontested.
