The Local Officer Election process for the Portland base is coming up soon. If you are interested in running for local office or know someone who would be a good candidate, please consider reviewing Article III (Local Councils and Local Executive Councils) and Article VIII.C (Local Council Officers and CWA Delegates) of the AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws.

New Process for Self-Nomination
During the 2024 AFA-CWA Board of Directors Convention, the BOD voted to change the LEC nomination process allowing all members to self-nominate for any of the LEC Officer positions with at least one endorsement of an active member in good standing. The Self-Nomination Guide provides more information about the process on how to ensure that your name will appear on the election ballot. Self-nominations will be accepted from April 1, 2026 through April 16, 2026.
Getting Your Ballot
Ballots will be mailed with an activation code and voting instructions. To ensure that you receive your ballot, please confirm that your mailing address is up-to-date in PeopleSoft. While all active members will receive a ballot, you must be in good standing in order to vote. This means you must not have a delinquent dues balance or you must have a payment plan with AFA Membership Services to pay your delinquent balance. Log in to the AFA Membership Hub to check your status and standing and other important dues information.
