Annual Election

Annual Election of Board of Directors

The APHON Elections will open soon for voting.

Active and Emeritus APHON Members will soon be called to vote in APHON’s Annual Election. In 2024, the Nominating Committee transitioned to serving as the Leadership Development Committee, a change instituted as part of the 2023 bylaws amendments. The committee oversees the call for candidates, vetting and interviewing, and the selection of candidates. The Leadership Development Committee is delighted to present this year’s candidate for the director-at-large in this election.

Take a few moments to acquaint yourself with the candidate by watching their personal video recording and reading through their biographical statement.
