Election Center offers a variety of event experiences
- January (Open to Nonmembers): Each year we convene in Washington, D.C. for our Joint Election Official Liaison Committee (JEOLC) meeting to be briefed by our federal partners and discuss potential legislative and policy activity for the year.
- February (Members Only): Our first workshop of the year highlights professional practices chosen by members the previous year as People’s Choice Award recipients. Workshops provide for a more interactive environment with attendees having plenty of time to connect, share and learn from each other as well as learn from highlighted speakers.
- April (Members Only): The second workshop focuses on state associations and localized networks, bringing together local leaders and interested members to share what is working “back home” and gain insights on how to take organizations, conferences, and their state efforts to the next level.
- August (Open to Nonmembers): The Annual Conference is a time to celebrate our Professional Practice Award winners, Lifetime Achievement and Hall of Fame winners, and the year’s CERA Graduates. Plenary sessions, numerous tracks of breakout sessions, and an exhibit hall provide content relevant to election professionals no matter where you are on your career path.
- October (In Odd-numbered Years): The Symposium is held on the beautiful Auburn campus and provides an opportunity to hear about the most recent academic work on election administration and practitioner-academic partnerships.
