USASF Member Voting Procedures

There are 2 types of issues on the voting ballot – Rules and Age Grid. Rules issues are voted on by all the Professional Members. Age Grid issues are voted on by a designated member from each location, referred to as One Location, One Vote.

These are the instructions for Professional Members (Rules Issues):

A Professional Member is a current member of the USASF that has received a Green Light background check through the National Council for Safety Initiatives.
Instructions for completing a background check can be found in the Industry Resources section of your USASF member profile.
How do I know if I have a Green Light?

Other things to know about the Background Screening Process:
