In addition, the nominating committee encourages Academy members to pose additional questions to be answered by the candidates. All questions will be directed to all candidates. Click this link [7] to submit a question. Questions and responses will be posted on the candidate Q&A page. Each new question with candidates' responses will be posted on the home page of the Academy Board Election Center [8] and the questions posted each week will be recapped in the Academy Election News section in This Week [9].
 
In finalizing the ballot, the nominating committee took into consideration the composition of officers to be elected by the Academy Board of Directors at its annual meeting this fall: President-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President/Casualty, Vice President/Health, Vice President/Professionalism. Based on those considerations, and to maintain the balance of practice area representation across the entire board as provided in the Nominating Committee Guidelines [10], the nominating committee decided two Regular Director Class of 2015 positions should be filled by health practitioners and that one position be filled by a member from any other practice area.

This marks the second year that Academy members will be casting their votes for Regular Director in an online election; it is the first year of a competitive election for one of those Regular Director positions.
