Votes will be accepted from TRU Clubs on the above list from the President or representative stated in a digital proxy. Proxies need to be to sent to admin@texasrugbyunion.com by the voting deadline as well.
The results will be announced no later than Wednesday, April 30,` 2014. In the unlikely event of another tie, the TRU Board will hold the final vote to determine the second Congress Seat.
