Selection Process

Committee selection takes place every two years and determines appointments for the following committee term. Members may indicate their committee preferences in their applications. Because the number of applicants typically exceeds the number of available positions, placement cannot be guaranteed. If you are not assigned to a committee, we encourage you to engage with our community in other meaningful ways.

Applying to Committees

Committee selection for the 2026–2027 term is now closed. The application window for the 2028–2029 term will open in June 2027.
