Nominations for the 2020-2021 SBA Board are open. As a student at Akron Law, you are automatically a member of SBA. As such, you can nominate individuals to the executive board and for class representatives. The executive board is composed of the president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary. To be eligible to run for an executive board position you MUST have completed two full semesters of law school prior to the time you will take office (not including the summer semester). Further, each student can nominate up to 4 class representatives (2L, 3L, part-time). 

Any individual who would like to be nominated for an executive board or class representative position on SBA must get at least two nominations (you are able to nominate yourself). Nominations will open on Monday, April 13 and will close on Thursday, April 16 at 6 p.m. You may only nominate representatives from your representative class, but all classes are able to nominate qualified individuals for the executive board positions. Spring Start Students: you are not able to nominate class representatives at this time, as your class election will be next spring, but you are able to nominate and vote for executive positions.
