On August 24, 2016, NFA notified members that effective 2017, they will institute electronic voting. An essential component of the new process is the designation of your Executive Representative - the only person from your firm who will be allowed to cast votes in the contested NFA director elections, and to submit nomination petitions.
NIBA supports this initiative. Mike Burke, IIB representative to the NFA Board presented both the idea of electronic voting and a designated firm rep to NIBA Board Members when he was first elected -- it received an unanimously positive response. NIBA believes NFA's new process for handling the nomination and voting process for NFA directors and amendments assures that members positions and opinions are accurately reflected and counted.
