Fellow Delegates

The following is a detailed report on the election process for the 2023 MSSNY House of Delegates.

Credentialing of all delegates who wish to vote in this years elections for Officers, Councilors, Trustees, and AMA Delegates must be completed by 4pm Friday, April 21. In addition, credentialed delegates must present themselves to the registration desk (Irvington Room) and retrieve their badges before the end of the Saturday afternoon recess of the House. Once a delegate has checked in and received their badge, they will be on the email list to vote in the elections. Elections will be done online using the service electionrunner.com. An automated email from [email protected] will be sent to each credentialed and checked in delegate with a link to vote, unique voter ID, and unique voter key that can only be used once.

Voting will begin at 5pm Saturday evening and end at 7am Sunday morning April 23. Election results will be posted at the house by 9am Sunday. In the event of a vacancy created by the initial election, nominations for those vacancies can be made. Nominated delegates that have been previously vetted are the only delegates that can be nominated (prefatory nominees) for any vacant position. That election (should there be one) will follow immediately.

Also, please note your leadership is asking that a professional posture be maintained during campaigning and that cell phone communications to fellow delegates for campaign purposes should only occur with the permission of the contacted individual.

Please note: Let’s behave like the well-educated, compassionate, intelligent professionals that we are.

Important Dates

On Tuesday, April 18 7PM The Rules Committee will meet to:

• Determine whether or not a late submission was justified as a late resolution (received after the 5pm March 5^th deadline). Only the author of any late resolution will be invited to speak on the issue of why the resolution was not submitted on time. The merit of the resolution in general is not a discussion point. The link will be sent by email.
• Final official vetting of all nominees for AMA Delegation and for Officers, Councilors, and Trustees. The complete list will be officially posted on the MSSNY website on Wednesday April 19^th.
• Finalize election details.
• Order of Reference Committee Presentation

Late resolutions that are deemed appropriate for the business of this year’s house will be inserted into the appropriate reference committee report for house action. Any resolutions that are presented after 5pm on April 17 will be considered emergency resolutions and can only be presented to the house with a ¾ vote of acceptance by the house.

Any delegate who wishes to vote in the elections must be credentialed as a delegate no later than 4pm, Friday April 21. Any delegate credentialed after that deadline will not receive the electionrunner email to vote!

Delegates should be aware that we are planning for session on Sunday morning. While we will make every effort to complete discussion of the HOD business on Saturday, we can make no guarantee and we will not stifle discussion to achieve a Saturday adjournment. The House must recess by 4:30 on Saturday so that the hotel has adequate time to reset the ballroom for dinner.  This is a hard stop and shortens the time we have to discuss ref com reports and other business.

Be well, Be safe!
