Complainers vs Doers: VOTE

By Brian Myers Cooper

So, which are you? A Complainer or a Doer? Complaining is easy, but not very effective. Luckily, there's something you can all do to make a difference: VOTE in the 2012 AEA election! This is a big year as we head into the AEA Centennial Celebration, with all the Regional and National Offices, plus 17 Council seats up for election. Don't miss out on this chance to have your say on how we begin our next hundred years. Plus, if you don't vote, you can't really complain, now can you?

To make voting even easier, be sure to register for online eVoting. Why? Because it's greener, it saves on postage, and it's the fastest way for members working away from home to get their ballots and cast their votes! Last year we doubled the number of registered eVoters, and we can do that again!

Join all these eVoters and make a difference with a click! Go to the Equity website, log on to Members Only, and click on the Vote 2012 icon to register. Remember: If you got a paper ballot in the last election and then voted online, you'll still continue to get a paper ballot unless you register for eVoting before March 22, 2012. You only have to register once, so if you registered to eVote before, you'll stay registered until you choose to change.
