The election for six open positions of the CSTA Board of Directors is underway. If you were a CSTA member as of April 1, you should have received an email with a personalized link to the online ballot. If you did not receive your ballot email, then several scenarios might have occurred.
1. CSTA does not have your correct email.
2. The email was caught by your spam filter.
3. The email bounced due to some technical issue on your end.
We have tried very hard to get the word out about keeping your email address up-to-date. In addition to being a requirement for voting, a valid email address allows CSTA to contact you with information and professional development opportunities in your area. If you have not been receiving any announcements from CSTA in the past year, chances are your email address on file is not correct. Contact Chris Stephenson at c.stephenson@csta-hq.org and she can get your email corrected.
If your email address is correct but your organization has an aggressive spam filter, it may have caught the ballot email. Please check your quarantine zone and hopefully it will be waiting for you there. If your spam software has already discarded the email or some technical glitch prevented it from being delivered (e.g., a full mailbox), a second ballot email will be sent out around April 21. The email will come from elections@electionbuddy.com, so you may need to add this address to the white list for your spam filter.
The CSTA membership is a vibrant community of more than 16,000 teachers and administrators. Don’t miss the opportunity to vote and help select the Board members who will represent your interests. The election ends May 5.
