Voting by Proxy – Special Meeting of Members

If you are unable to attend the special meeting of members in person, you may appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf by following the instructions below.

If you recently designated a proxy for the May Annual Meeting of Members and you have not revoked that designation and it has not expired (valid for 11 months unless you specified otherwise), it remains in effect for this special meeting.

Option 1: Appoint AOPA Trustees as Your Proxy

To designate AOPA Trustees, log in to your account at www.aopa.org, click "My Account" to navigate to the "Membership Information" page, scroll down to "Proxy Status," and click "Extend." On the AOPA Proxy Webpage, scroll to the bottom and click "Extend Proxy" to complete your designation.

Option 2: Appoint Another Person as Your Proxy

To designate another person as your voting proxy, send a written notice to the Secretary of AOPA by email to [email protected] before the special meeting takes place. Your notice should include all of the following:

  1. Your full name
  2. Your member number
  3. The date
  4. Your email address
  5. A statement that you are revoking any and all prior voting proxies
  6. The full name (first, middle, and last) of the person you are appointing as your proxy
  7. Expiration date, up to 36 months from current date

Be sure to inform the individual you are designating as your proxy that they have been named to serve in this capacity. When checking-in at the registration table on the day of the special meeting, your designated proxy should receive the appropriate proxy ballot. If they do not receive this proxy ballot at check-in, they should ask for it directly, as it is separate from the standard ballot.

Revoking a Proxy Without Appointing a New One

To revoke a previously submitted proxy without designating a replacement, send a written notice to the Secretary of AOPA by email to [email protected] before the annual meeting takes place. Your notice must include all of the following:

  1. Your full name
  2. Your member number
  3. The date
  4. Your email address
  5. A statement that you are revoking any and all prior voting proxies

If you have any additional questions about your proxy designation, call 800-USA-AOPA or email us at [email protected].
