CR Elections

US Country Representative (CR) elections are typically held at the end of the Japanese fiscal year (March). All 19 US Chapters are encouraged to vote. Each JETAA USA Chapter has one collective vote for each choice of filling three (3) Country Representative positions. Sub-chapters vote under their parent chapters. Information on where to find candidate platforms, how to submit votes, etc. will be sent out to chapter leadership via the web platform currently being utilized. Efforts will be made to ensure that all chapters have the information and resources needed to participate in the voting procedure.

If you are interested in running for Country Representative, please read the JETAA USA Bylaws to get a full understanding of the functionality of the organization and the requirements you must meet to run for the position.
