IUAA Election Begins March 1

The election for the IUAA Board of Managers and Executive Council is underway. In addition to a ballot in your spring 2022 issue of the Indiana University Alumni Magazine, the slate and election is being offered online as well! All you have to do to confirm the slate is to follow these steps:

  1. Log into the MyIU Member Hub
  2. Click Vote Now
  3. Follow the prompts to see the slate, complete the form, and send.

You might have questions about the IUAA Election – who can vote, when, how…and what’s the difference in this and the IU Trustee Election? To help you understand the differences in the two elections, I offer an easy table below.
