Dear WPATH Members:

The WPATH Board of Directors is excited to announce a Call for Nominations for the three (3) WPATH Member-at-large positions available on the WPATH 2022 Election Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee has two main tasks:

1. Select the President-Elect, Secretary, and Treasurer who will appear on the ballot for the WPATH 2022 Election.
2. Ensure that the candidates who are nominated for Member-at-large positions on the board of directors fulfill the criteria for these positions prior to being placed on the WPATH 2022 Election ballot.

As previously done in the WPATH 2020 Election, the 2022 Nominating Committee will consist of the following members:

• Immediate Past President (Chair): Vin Tangpricha, MD
• Additional Past President (to be selected by anonymous BOD vote)
• 2 Current BOD Members (to be selected by anonymous BOD vote)
• 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 (paid member dues in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022), cannot be under disciplinary action by a university, hospital, or professional society, and may not run for any position in the WPATH 2022 Election.

To nominate another WPATH member for the 2022 Nominating Committee, 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 on your behalf 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 by the deadline, will be placed on the ballot for the 3 Member-at-large positions; the 3 members receiving the largest number of votes will take their seats on the 2022 Election Nominating Committee.

The deadline to apply for the Member-at-Large positions is Sunday, June 12, 2022, at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Your WPATH Board of Directors
