Your IUG site manager should receive a ballot on **Thursday January 9th**.  
If as a site manager, you didn’t receive a ballot please [use this link to cast your ballot 🗳](https://members.innovativeusers.org/members/elections.php). The ballot will ask the site contact to rank the ideas in order of importance. Ballots must be submitted no later than **January 28, 2025 11:59pm EDT**.

Thanks to the [Sierra Working Group](https://members.innovativeusers.org/projects/moreinfo.php?org_id=IUG&pid=12861229) for all the time and effort they have put into selecting these ideas for the MEEP process.

[Follow these instructions to see your site contact.](https://forum.innovativeusers.org/t/managing-additional-users-with-your-iug-membership/1542)  
If needed, [use this form to update the site contact.](https://members.innovativeusers.org/members/form.php?orgcode=IUG&fid=6314975)

For consortia, [individual member libraries may elect to purchase their own IUG membership](https://www.innovativeusers.org/how_to_join.php)which would give the member library voting rights in this and all other IUG processes.
