Brothers,

As our annual NAKfest weekend closely approaches, the nominations are open for electing new brothers to serve our organization as members of our National leadership. Outlined in the National By-Laws are those positions that are up for election which are noted to be elected during even years, and includes what these positions entail in terms of responsibilities and duties. Keep in mind that this is an investment in our continued progress and the opportunity to make a difference in our organization.

National Elections will take place on Friday, April 27th, 2012. Here is an outlined agenda and directional information on where National Elections will be held. A more detailed agenda will be available during check-in.  An early NAKfest check-in table will be available before National Elections right outside the conference room.
