Anyone interested in becoming a district representative or in nominating someone for a district representative position should contact IN S&W Purdue advisor Meredith Cobb at 765-426-1195 or mcobb2@purdue.edu by April 15. There is also a fillable form on the website one can submit to be included in all mailings and emails related to the checkoff, along with an option to submit your name for nomination in the upcoming election.
