HOW TO NOMINATE YOURSELF

Please speak with a current or former member of the Commission to explore the duties and expectations of the position you are considering.  We are all volunteers and want to nurture the best possible experience for our fellow members.

Eligible WESA Members (that means everyone who has paid their membership fees, is assigned to a 2025 team as an active playing Member, or be an Associate or a Lifetime Member), may nominate themselves for any one of the above positions. All you need to do is:

  1.  Starting Thursday 12:00 a.m. PT, June 19, 2025, and no later than Thursday 11:59 p.m. PT, July 10, 2025 (a period of three weeks), send an email, indicating for which one position you would like to run, to the Electoral Officer(s) at Commission (at) WESA.net; 
  2. Include a short bio (no more than 600 words), that we will publish for everyone to see, explaining why you think you would be good at the position.  You could also include things like the number of years you have played, skills you would bring to the role, related and or relevant experience, etc.; and
  3. Provide a high-resolution recent head & shoulders full face photo so even those people who are not familiar with your name, but think you are amazing, may still vote for you.

IMPORTANT: Should your bio AND headshot not be received by Thursday 11:59 p.m. PT, July 10,  2025, your nomination will not be included on the ballot.

The position of Treasury Commissioner will be appointed by the incoming 2026 Commission.
