April 30 Deadline for Board Election Ballots

All ballots to elect a new president, vice president/secretary, and three directors to serve on the American Booksellers Association’s Board of Directors must be cast by midnight EDT on April 30 in order to be counted. A link to the ballot was sent to ABA main store members in an e-mail from CEO Oren Teicher on March 30.

The election results will be announced at the beginning of May, and the new Board members will be welcomed at the ABA Annual Membership Meeting to be held on Thursday, May 28, from 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m., in conjunction with BookExpo America, at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. The meeting agenda will include the formal announcement of ABA’s election results, reports from the president and CEO, a membership and financial update, and the opportunity for members to bring old and/or new business to the attention of the Board of Directors.

Main store members that have yet to cast their ballots should contact their ABA Member Relationship Manager for a link to the ballot: Catherine Cusick in the Great Lakes, Midwest, New Atlantic, and New England regions; Nathan Halter in the Mountains and Plains, Northern and Southern California, Pacific Northwest, and Southern regions.

Only one ballot per member business may be cast.
