NEW Executive Board Platform and Election Dates!!!!!

We are extending the deadline of the call for platforms unto the 30th of June. I understand we are in the summer semester so those of us who are in class feel swamped and those of us not in class just want a break!! Please don't let the word 'platform' scare you away from applying for a position. This is an amazing opportunity to practice and learn leadership skills while working with a dynamic group such as the AAOMPT. Below I have detailed what is it I am looking for in the platforms as well as a description of each position up for election. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
