30 KEYNOTES MAY 2023 WWW.ALOA.ORG A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear ALOA SPAI Member, The bylaws of ALOA Security Professionals Association, Inc. designate that the president of the association and directors of the Southeast, North Central, Southwest and Associate regions shall be elected in odd- numbered years. The bylaws allow voting by proxy, a procedure that allows all members to participate in the election of their respective directors and/or officers. A proxy allows you to authorize someone to vote for you at a meeting. As president, I’ve called a special meeting at 10 a.m. CDT on June 2, 2023, at ALOA SPAI Headquarters, 1471 Prudential Drive, Dallas, TX 75235. The purpose of the meeting is to elect the officers and directors of the association. The ballot is in the form of a proxy, prepared for you to give specific instructions to the holder of the proxy. This will ensure that your vote is counted exactly as you desire. You must provide your name, member number and date, and must sign the form. (Failure to properly complete the proxy may result in your ballot being invalid.) Please vote for president and your representative director(s). Write-in candi- dates are not allowed, and no one is “running from the floor” at this special meeting of the membership. If you have any questions, you can direct them to Mary May, our Executive Director, and/or me. Please vote online at www.aloa.org, or mail or fax the proxy as soon as possible. In order for your vote to count, the holder of your proxy, as designated, must be present at the meeting and have the properly completed proxy with him. This means that your ballot must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. CDT on May 31, 2023. You do not have to designate Barry Roberts, Esq., as your proxy. You may give your proxy to anyone else, but they must attend the special membership meeting on June 2, 2023, with your signed and dated proxy in hand. Please participate in the future of your association! Bill Mandlebaum, President ALOA Security Professionals Association, Inc. [email protected] ALOA ELECTIONS 2023 VOTE ONLINE AT ALOA.ORG!
