Call for Nominations for the Board of Directors of USPATH - Director Positions

Correction from Yesterday's Email - Please See Full Taskforce List Below - Dan Karasic, MD was omitted in error

Dear US Members of WPATH:

The newly elected USPATH Officers and Taskforce are pleased to announce a call for nominations for candidates to run for director positions on the Board of Directors (BOD) of The United States Professional Association for Transgender Health (USPATH). Candidates must be full members of WPATH who reside in the United States. Please see criteria for the USPATH BOD by clicking here. Please apply for these positions by completing the application on this link. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, May 23, 2018.

All US members of WPATH will automatically be members of USPATH. USPATH will be a nonprofit organization, and will form when a Board of Directors is elected by the US members of WPATH. Then that board will solidify bylaws, organize committees, and conduct business under the WPATH umbrella.

USPATH becomes a legal entity when elections are held, and the organization is incorporated. A Steering Committee was formed to get the organization off the ground, once all the USPATH Board of Directors are in place, the Steering Committee is dissolved. The Steering Committee has been hard at work to establish an open election process, criteria for nominations, and newly-drafted bylaws for USPATH, which the new board may choose to adopt as they move forward.

Thank you for your participation in creating this new organization,

The USPATH Officers

Josh Safer, M.D. (Co-Chair) and USPATH President

Erica Anderson, PhD - USPATH President Elect

Emilia Lombardi, PhD - USPATH Secretary/Treasurer
