Nominations Process
The Nominating Committee is charged with proposing a slate of nominees for approval by the membership at the Annual General Meeting. Each year the Nominating Committee solicits nominations from the ISPA membership for consideration. Nominations can only be made by current ISPA members in good standing. Upon assessing the qualifications, verifying the eligibility and willingness of the nominees to serve, and ensuring the diversity of the membership is reflected, the Nominating Committee assembles the slate.
All nominations are gratefully received and will be acknowledged. Please note that there are a limited number of positions on the board and on committees and that all qualified nominations may not be included on the slate. The Committee does review nominations from prior years in its deliberations so even if your nominee is not successful in the current year, they may be in the future.
Eligible Nominees
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (Board) is responsible for and entrusted with the governance and strategic direction of ISPA and all its affairs and programs. The Board is constituted by twenty-five ISPA members that reflect the diversity of the membership. Directors are appointed for an initial three year term and are eligible to sit for a maximum of two terms.

Board Members shall:
- Be a member in good
standing in ISPA at all times;
