The deadline to apply for the three (3) WPATH Member-at-Large positions on the WPATH 2020 Election Nominating Committee is fast approaching. As a reminder, the Nominating Committee has two main tasks:

1. Select the President-Elect, Secretary, and Treasurer who will appear on the ballot for the WPATH 2020 Election from nominees who meet the criteria.
2. Ensure that the candidates who are nominated for Board Member-at-Large positions meet the criteria to be placed on the WPATH 2020 Election ballot.

As previously communicated, the WPATH 2020 Nominating Committee will consist of the following members:

• Immediate Past President (Chair): Gail Knudson, MD, FRCP, MEd

Applicants for the Nominating Committee must be WPATH members in good standing for at least 5 consecutive years, cannot be under disciplinary action by a university, hospital or professional society, and may not run for any position in the WPATH 2020 Election.

To apply, please have another WPATH member submit a letter of recommendation via email to wpath@PROTECTED in addition to completing the online application form.

To nominate another WPATH member, please email wpath@PROTECTED with your nomination and a letter of recommendation and, if eligible, they will be contacted by WPATH staff to complete the online application form.

All applicants that meet the criteria above and submit their online application form and letter of recommendation will be placed on the ballot for the 3 positions; the 3 members receiving the largest number of votes will take their seats on the 2020 Election Nominating Committee.
