Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be a current section member and eligible to vote in accordance with the section's bylaws.

Application Process: Go to the myWSBA.org Portal to complete the online application for open executive committee positions. The Section has requested that each applicant submit a resume and statement of interest. These documents must be uploaded with your online application (pdf format only). Please be advised that application materials may be posted on this website for public viewing during the election.

Note: If you are applying for more than one position on this or multiple sections' committees, you must complete and submit all applications at the same time, as you will not be allowed back into the portal at a later time. Please make sure you are completing the applications within the application window for all of the relevant sections.

Nominating Process: The chair shall appoint a nominating committee each year of not less than three members of the Section, at least one of whom shall not be a current member of the executive committee. The nominating committee shall seek interested individuals to fill open positions on the executive committee, with a balance of nature of practice or employment, geography, and other bases of diversity. All applicants will apply through an electronic application process administered by the Bar. The nominating committee shall make nominations for chair-elect, secretary and treasurer or secretary/treasurer, three at-large executive committee members to succeed those with expiring terms, and at-large executive committee members for any existing vacancies. The executive committee will approve a list of nominees for each open position.

Alternate Nominating Process: All individuals who complete the electronic application process administered by the Bar who are not selected by the Nominating Committee will be given the opportunity to self-nominate to be included on the final list of approved nominees.

Elections Process: All voting members of the section will receive an electronic ballot sent to their email on June 3, 2024. Visit this webpage in early June for election updates and voting instructions.
