All current open positions are at-large. Terms start in fiscal year 2025, which begins June 1. Terms are three years and are not renewable.

In an effort to make the process more transparent and to attract a more inclusive pool of candidates, we have changed the nominations process. The Committee on Leadership Development (CLD) invites members of the Alumnae Association who would like to serve on the Executive Board (AAEB) in one of the open positions to apply. The application is sent annually and requires some basic biographical information as well as answering a few questions about your interest, skills, etc. The CLD also invites members of the Alumnae Association to nominate other alums who they think would be strong candidates. The open positions on the Board and their descriptions can be found on this page.

After receiving all applications, the CLD will review the candidates and select a slate of nominees to present to the Alumnae Association in the ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ Alumnae Bulletin and online. Candidates' interests, experience, and skills will be considered. The CLD may contact candidates to ask questions if necessary. The CLD will review candidates in the fall each year, and present the final slate to the Alumnae Association the following spring.
