View Candidate Information
For each candidate, OCNI publishes the unedited responses to the non-confidential nomination form. Once available (November 1), view candidate profiles here. Candidate profiles are on the OCNI website. Each candidate has provided a biography/resume and was asked to provide any campaign messaging that they wished to convey to the membership about their interest in the position, what they will strive to accomplish, and how their abilities will serve to strengthen the Board. This information can be found by clicking ‘Campaign Materials’ next to their name.

Voting

- On any OCNI web page, click on Member Portal between November 20 and December 4, 2023.
- Click on the “Vote Now” badge on your dashboard (mid page on the right, if you have multiple badges you may have to scroll right to find this badge).
- You must select a slate (six, unique) candidates, one per drop down. Any ballots with an incomplete slate or one where candidate selection is not unique will be rejected in the backend of the voting system. As ballots are secret; OCNI will be unable to open voting up again for you to re-select your slate, and your vote will be considered spoiled.
