Rules for Election of AJSA Board Applications Due April 10

Election of Board of Directors: All candidates MUST submit a written application that is available from the ASA Director of Youth Activities. Junior board applications will be collected in the ASA office by the designated deadline during the current election year. Candidates for election must be nominated from the floor at the Jr. National Youth Conference meeting. A maximum of two new Board of Directors from each state and/or Junior State Association are allowed to be elected at the same time or year.

A. Open interviews with the state delegates will be conducted at Youth Conference.

B. Junior Board candidates will be interviewed by three qualified Industry leaders, normally including but not limited to the ASA Executive and AJSA advisors. The individuals interviewing the candidates will rank them in the same matter that the delegates would. The interview process represents 30% of each candidate ranking toward their total score. Delegate Representation to Elect Board Members: Each state and or state association shall appoint two delegates to represent that state at the Junior National Youth Conference meeting normally held at the Junior National. A state may be represented by only one junior organization from each state. Those delegates would vote to elect the Board of Directors at Youth Conference meeting. Each delegate must be a member in good standing of the AJSA in order to serve as a delegate. Said delegates must be AJSA members that are 15 years of age or older. If the association does not have two members present fulfilling this age requirement, they may have younger delegates. All delegates must be junior members of the ASA (AJSA members) and be a member in good standing. The definition of a member in good standing is one that does not have over a 90-day balance on their account with the ASA.

A. Vote Distribution: Election will be conducted at the Youth Conference in the following manner: The number of votes received by each State will be determined by the number of members of the American Junior Shorthorn Association within that Junior Association. (If two states officially become one junior association, i.e. Dakota Plains, they will vote as one association. The number of

members from each of the states represented will be added to determine the votes the Junior Association gets. So long as no other association is representing either state.) 1. If the State has 0-75 members in the AJSA the state receives 2 ballots representing 2 votes. 2. If the State has 76- 250 members in the AJSA the state receives 3 ballots representing 3 votes. 3. If the State has 251 or more members in the AJSA the state receives 4 ballots representing 4 votes. 4. The number of Junior Members will be determined at the time and date entries close for the Junior National Show and Youth Conference. 5. Each Current AJSA Board of Director will receive one ballot representing 1 vote each. B. Scoring of Votes: During voting, ONLY delegates of the same junior association will be able to confer. Ballots from one state association do not have to have the same rankings. Each ballot will have all the candidates listed on it. The ballot will be filled out by ranking the candidates in order of preference starting with the first choice as 1 and the second choice as 2 and so on, continuing through the list until all candidates have a ranked number. The ballot must be fill out completely with a ranking for each candidate listed or the ballot will be disqualified. 1. Delegate and AJSA Board rankings will account for 70% of each candidate’s total score. 2. Interview process with three industry leaders with each candidate will be ranked in order of preference and will account for 30% of each candidate’s total score. 3. The total rankings will be added. The candidate with the lowest score will be the first to become a new Board member the candidate with the second lowest score will be the next new board member and so on until all open positions on the Board are filled.
