Submitting info for your Rep profile page

The Elections Committee will use this information to build a bio page that your colleagues can view during both the nomination and voting periods. If you would like to prepare in advance, you can view the sample questionnaire in the section below. You can also take a look at current reps profiles:  SC Division Reps or SC At Large Reps -  just click on Rep name for link to view rep bio. We ask that you keep your answers brief as this is not meant to be a burden to you.
