Leadership

ACUNS is led by a Board of Directors and a team of Officers. Every two years, ACUNS calls for nominations for new Directors, who serve four year terms. It also calls for nominations for individuals who will serve as the Officers of the organization. Directors of the Board are elected by the ACUNS membership during the ACUNS Annual Meeting. Officers are appointed by the Board of Directors. All Directors and Officers serve ACUNS in a voluntary capacity. Only ACUNS members are eligible to be nominated for Director and Officer positions. Individuals can become members via the membership registration form.

Calls for nominations will be made via the ACUNS Monthly Bulletin. Please sign up for the Monthly Bulletin in order to obtain future announcements about leadership opportunities.

ACUNS will be calling for the nomination of two new Board members to be elected at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Details regarding the nomination process will be announced in conjunction with the call.

For any questions about the nomination process, please contact Dr. Cecilia Cannon, the Chair of the ACUNS Nominations Committee at nominations@acuns.org.
