If you haven't already voted in the LIASA election, you have just over 4 days left to either have your say or not - The ballot closes at 14:00 on Tuesday 9 October 2018.

We need a passionate, devoted PRO, a honest, wise Treasurer, a dedicated, meticulous Secretary and of course, an all-round dynamic, consistant, dependable leader in the form of President-elect - naturally, this is why I voted for Danie Malan 😊

ALL of the candidates have shown that they are committed to LIASA just because they were willing to be nominated - willing to invest their time and effort into LIASA (us)

But, we need to choose the right person who will lead ALL OF US as we embark on enforcing our right to be recognised professionally in ALL of the sectors we work in. We need a good speaker, an attentive listener, a devoted doer as well as a spectacular strategist - again, this is why I voted for Danie Malan 😊

How to vote:
You will need to use the VOTER ID and the VOTER KEY provided in the email you received on 30 August in order to cast your vote.

The email was sent by the LiASA Electoral Officer with the subject line "Invitation to vote in the LiASA Office Bearer's election 2018-2020"
