Questions

These are answers to some common questions about the FCUAC elections:

"Four Creeks used to use mail ballots for elections. Has that changed?"

YES: The cost of using mail ballots has become prohibitive. Other UACs use an Election Meeting for their elections.

"If I don't get elected, are there other membership opportunities?"

YES: Members may be appointed to positions not filled by an election. The UAC works on appointments between the election and the January meeting when the new membership is seated.
