Annual Elections

Elections are an important membership benefit. Shape the future of the Societies. 

Your voice matters, and when you volunteer to become a candidate and when you cast your vote! Embrace the opportunity to influence the future of our Societies by participating in the election process.

Seeking nominations 

Interested in severing in a leadership role in Societies beginning in 2028? We are actively seeking nominations on a rolling basis, and self-nominations are encouraged—simply inform a Division/Section Chair or Community Leader by Oct. 31, 2026. Let's collectively expand our diverse and inclusive leaders.
