In addition to proposed candidates, ASCA also welcomes self-nominated candidates. These are individuals who have expressed their own interest in the board position.<\/p>\n<p>The five candidates with the most votes will fill the full-term spots, and the candidate in 6<sup>th<\/sup> place will fill the partial term that is the result of a mid-term resignation. Three incumbents are running for re-election: <strong>Bill Dorenkott, Emily Melina<\/strong> and<strong> Ellen Johnston<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial to ASCA that the final decision on the Board of Directors rests with its dedicated membership. ASCA believes in the power of collective voices and the democratic process.
