Official petition forms may be obtained from Henri Wingfield, director of channel partner activities. The deadline for a petition submission is July 16, 2011.
Should a valid petition be received, a mail ballot will be sent to the entire voting membership.

Installation of elected officers will take place at the January 2012 meeting of the APICS Board of Directors.
