<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Please help us to elect our first NAPPN Executive Board by building the ballot of candidates from the list of nominees. This step in the election process will narrow down each list of nominees to 2x the number
of seats available for election, with polling to close at 3 PM US Central Time on 17 January. Your link to vote should land in your inbox shortly and will come from Darwin Campbell <noreply@electionrunner.com>. Be sure to check your junk/spam folder for the
email. A subsequent email asking you to vote on the final ballot will be sent out one week from today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
