Our annual election is approaching and the organization is seeking several volunteers to join the board. If you or someone you know would be a dedicated board member, please consider filling out this form. Nominations are due by Friday, 3rd July 2025, with elected board members joining the board effective September 1st.
This year, we’ll be electing:
- A president-elect
- A treasurer
- 6 at-large board members (who serve on one of three committees, Publications & Communications, Events & Conferences, and Elections & Nominations)
- 3 graduate student representatives
Everyone but the graduate student representatives serves a three-year term; the graduate student representatives serve two-year terms. We ask that people attend bi-monthly board meetings on the first Friday of the month from 12-1:30 Eastern and dedicate 4-5 hours each month to committee activities. It’s not a lot of work, but it’s important and keeps the organization alive.
If you have questions about the roles or serving on the board, please email Nick Winges-Yanez (nicksdsboard@disstudies.org), the chair of the Elections & Nominations committee.
