What are the terms of those elected?
Terms are for two years, with the seats staggered so that there is always an overlap of four pre-existing board members and four members elected or re-elected in the most recent voting cycle. The Board is also granted the authority to vote up to 3 at-large members to join the board for a one year term.
What are the timelines of elections?
The nomination submission process takes place annually in the first half of May of each year, with candidate eligibility review and bio/pic submission requirements taking place in the latter half of that month. 2025: May 1st - May 16th.
The election window generally opens at the beginning of June, and runs for roughly half the month. Once votes are finalized, the newly elected are given the opportunity to accept their positions. 2025: June 2nd - June 16th.
The new board members announcement is done via social media and on our website, with our Summer Social in July being the suggested place to meet the new club leadership team. 2025: Announcements week of June 23rd, Summer Social July TBD.
