Please note that a nomination or a submitted application does not ensure a place on the WPATH 2024 Official Ballot. The WPATH 2024 Election Nominating Committee will vet all applications to ensure that candidates meet all requirements as stated in the criteria, and select Officer/Executive Committee candidates to be placed on the WPATH 2024 Officer Slate. The Nominating Committee will work to ensure that the final ballot/slate for Officer/Executive Committee composition will be as diverse as possible, considering global representation, racial and ethnic diversity, professional (interdisciplinary) diversity, and gender diversity.

Any eligible Officer/Executive Committee candidates who are not selected for the Officer Slate will be included on the Official Ballot as Board Member-at-Large candidates, unless they indicate otherwise in the Board Application Form below.

Voting by the WPATH membership to approve the slate and select the Board Member-at-Large positions will take place in July 2024.

Newly-elected Board Officers and Members-at-Large will be installed at a meeting of the full WPATH Board of Directors near or in conjunction with the WPATH 28th Scientific Symposium, being held live in Lisbon, Portugal from September 25 - 30, 2024. The Board meeting will take place on Monday, September 30, 2024, following the conclusion of scientific sessions.
