Vote Today for Members of the WPATH 2020-Election Nominating Committee

Dear WPATH Members:

The WPATH Board of Directors (BOD) are excited to present the Official Ballot for the three (3) Member-at-Large positions to sit on the WPATH 2020-Election Nominating Committee along with the current members of the committee:

We are pleased to announce that the candidates presented below have met the criteria as defined in the call for nominations for these positions. These candidates are members in good standing for at least 5 consecutive years, are not under disciplinary action by a university, hospital, or professional society, and are not running for any position in the WPATH 2020 Election.

In making your selection, please consider the following.

The Nominating Committee has two main tasks:

Therefore, elected members should have a working knowledge of the WPATH Board of Directors and be familiar with the functions of the WPATH Executive Committee, as they will be reviewing all applications for the WPATH BOD and interviewing potential nominees for the WPATH Executive Committee.

In order to allow as many opportunities for WPATH members to serve in leadership positions as possible, the Nominating Committee, will be reviewing applications in two stages. The first call for nominations will be for the officer positions and the second call for nominations will be for board-member-at-large positions. All qualified applicants for the officer positions that are not selected will be invited to apply for a board-member-at-large position.
