Dear WPATH Members:

The WPATH Board of Directors is excited to announce a Call for Applications for the three (3) WPATH Members-at-Large positions available on the WPATH 2020 Election Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee has two main tasks:

1. Select the President-Elect, Secretary of Committees, and Treasurer who will appear on the ballot for the WPATH 2020 Election.
2. Ensure that the candidates who are nominated for Members-at-Large positions on the board of directors fulfill the criteria for these positions prior to being 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
• Additional Past President (selected by anonymous BOD vote): Jamison Green, PhD
• 2 Current BOD Members (selected by anonymous BOD vote): Walter Bouman, MD, PhD and Tone Maria Hansen, MSN
• 3 Additional Full WPATH Members-at-Large (selected by Membership vote)

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 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.

If you are interested in applying, you must arrange to have another WPATH member submit a letter of recommendation via email to wpath@PROTECTED in addition to completing 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.

The deadline to apply for the Member-at-Large positions is Sunday, March 15th, 2020 at 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
