Proxy
Voting to Replace Absentee Balloting
Recommendations of Online Voting Task Force & Board
of Directors
By: Brian Carswell, Immediate Past President and Chair
- Online Voting Task Force
For more
than a year, the Online Voting Task Force has gathered suggestions
from members on how to increase the number of people who vote
in annual elections for NIRSA officers while maximizing available
computer and Internet technology. For the most part, member
input has been relayed to the Task Force by NIRSA Regional
Vice Presidents  through
regional conferences, state meetings, and individual conversations
with members from around the country. |

Support
the 2004 NIRSA-Endorsed Regional and National
Basketball Tournaments and Championships
Regional and national extramural tournaments offer some of the
best opportunities for training and developing students and
emerging professionals, and they are important elements of NIRSA’s
sponsorship programs. These goals are accomplished at NIRSA
endorsed events through consistent rule implementation, staff
development, officials training, and a high regard for sportsmanship.
In a 2002 NIRSA financial-planning survey, an overwhelming number
of NIRSA members cited “student development and training”
as one of the most important things NIRSA does. |

sports, fitness and wellness. For ideas, sample proclamations,
waivers, press releases...everything you need to celebrate...check

NIRSA
Founder
~ Dr. William Wasson ~
Dr.
Wasson was once asked how he would like NIRSA to remember
him. He humbly responded, “As the person who
accidentally happened to have been there because, certainly
not in the back of my mind, did I think we would get organized
and become a national, or rather an international, organization.”
Even if
you have read NIRSA's
History section on our website or seen the photos in the
lobby of the NIRSA National Center, you may
not know of William Wasson s varied interests and of his journey
that led to what we now know as “Founder s Day - February
22, 1950.” |
