Important Notes
- If you are currently serving on a 2024–2025 committee, you must reapply to be considered for the 2026–2027 term.
- Members may serve on the same committee for up to two consecutive terms, unless appointed as Chair or Vice Chair.
- If you are currently in your second consecutive term on the same committee (i.e., served in both 2022–2023 and 2024–2025), you will not be eligible to select that same committee again. It will not appear as an option in the application system.
- Waivers for additional terms are extremely limited and may only be requested by Staff Liaisons, subject to Board approval.
- Committee assignments are limited to ensure effective operations and a positive member experience. Placement is not guaranteed.
- If you are not assigned to a committee, we’d welcome your participation in our community in other ways.
- Newly appointed members of the 2026–2027 committee term previously not part of the 2024-2025 committee term will qualify for the Leadership Meeting early bird rate, even if the deadline for the early bird rate has passed. A separate communication will follow once committee selections are finalized, inviting you to the 2025 Leadership Meeting.
- Current 2024–2025 committee members must register by the early bird deadline to receive the best rate.
