*NOW* is the time to ask questions of your potential Executive Committee
Members. Right now is the Open Discussion session with your candidates. Ask
questions. Read responses to the questions already asked. Get involved!

*Graduate Students *- You should read through the candidate statements and
ask questions. The individual elected as Graduate Student Representative will
be representing you for two years on AoIR's Executive Committee.

*AoIR Members *- The individuals running for the Executive Committee will
shape the next two years of your association. The individual elected as
Vice-President will be on the Executive Committee for 6 years. Make sure
the individuals selected will represent this association as it moves
forward.
