The Nominating Committee for APHA's Governing Council is looking for the following candidates for leadership roles in the organization:

• APHA President Elect (three year commitment, one year each as president-elect, president and past-president)
• Executive board – three positions available (4-year term)
• Speaker of the Governing Council (3-year term)
• Treasurer (3-year term)

The APHA Governing Council will vote to select these officers at the November (2010) meeting, and they would begin serving immediately after the APHA conference (so terms would start Nov. 10, 2010).

As I'm sure you know, the next APHA Annual Meeting is Nov. 6-10, 2010, in Denver.

Applications are due March 31, 2010 and should include the relevant (attached) one-page form along with resume/CV of the nominee, and any letters of support. The nominating committee will meet May 6 to select the list of nominees for consideration by the Governing Council at the 2010 Annual Meeting.

We hope you will be able to think of individuals who would be excellent candidates for the above positions. 

Should you or a potential candidate wish further information on these positions, please refer to the job descriptions and nomination form available on the APHA Web site at: http://www.apha.org/about/gov/nominations/default.htm

If you are interested in running, we suggest you contact your APHA Section, SPIG, Caucus and/or Forum leadership to solicit their support and assistance with your nomination. 

All nominees for the Executive Board are selected from among the membership of the Association, except that the nominees for  Honorary Vice-President may include persons who are not members of the Association.
