Board Nominations

The ACEP Nominating Committee is accepting nominations from individual and component bodies for the national ACEP Board of Directors.

A true measure of a leader is knowing when it is time to accept the challenge of leadership. One must carefully consider their education, life experiences, and potential to determine when they are ready to lead. If you know you are ready to lead, take the initiative to contact your chapter president or section chair to express your interest in nomination and ask that a nomination letter be submitted on your behalf. 

Among other factors, the Nominating Committee will consider activity and involvement in the College, the Council and component bodies, leadership experience in other organizations or practicing institution, candidate diversity, and specific experiential needs of the organization when considering the slate of candidates.

To qualify for a Board position, a candidate must:

• be highly motivated to serve ACEP and be committed for three years for a Board position or two years for Council office;
• be an ACEP member in good standing with no delinquent dues;
• show evidence of ACEP involvement in both national and chapter activities (such as current or past chapter officer, current or past national committee leadership, current or past Council membership, or current or past section leadership);
• show chapter and/or section support for candidacy.
