Per our by-laws, all Board positions are a 1-year volunteer term and must be elected by our members each year at our February annual meeting. We encourage all our members to consider running for any of them. Even if there is an incumbent running for reelection or other members have already been nominated, we believe a strong democratic process with multiple candidates will ultimately strengthen our organization.

Fast Facts:

• You must be an active dues-paying member to run for the Board.

• You must be an active dues-paying member to vote in the Board elections.

• Any member can nominate any other member.

• Any member can nominate themselves.

• Each nomination must be seconded to proceed, then the nominee may choose to accept or decline.

Important Timelines:

• Nominations can be made until the point of the ballot vote for each position.

• Losing candidates may be immediately re-nominated for a different position after the vote is held, if they so choose.
