Annual Election

Annual Election of Board of Directors

APHON is pleased to announce the successful completion of its recent slated election. The newly elected official will assume their position at the conclusion of the 2025 APHON Annual Conference in Providence, RI. Their leadership will play a crucial role in advancing APHON’s mission and fulfilling its commitment to serving the needs and interests of its members.

“APHON continues to make history with our first early careerist in the position of Director-at-Large. This is a milestone in which APHON should be extremely proud! Having an early career member at the Board table not only demonstrates inclusivity, but also speaks to the organization’s desire to meet the needs of all our members, no matter where they are on their career trajectory. I am incredibly grateful to the Leadership Development Committee for their judiciousness in the slating process.”

– Janice Nuuhiwa, Leadership Development Committee Chair, 2024-2025

Have Questions about APHON’s Election Process?

In 2024, the Nominating Committee transitioned to serving as the Leadership Development Committee, a change instituted as part of the 2023 bylaws amendments. This reflects our commitment to fostering leadership and ensuring that our board is composed of individuals who are not only deeply committed to our mission but also bring a wealth of experience and insight to the table.

In 2026, there will be 4 board vacancies for the roles of President-Elect, Secretary and 2 Directors-at-Large. If you would like to be considered as a candidate or nominate a candidate for a future open position on the APHON Board, please respond to the call for candidates that will take place in Q1 2026.
