WPATH Student Initiative Vice Chair
Due December 19, 2021
WPATH is seeking applications for our next WPATH Student Initiative (WSI) Vice Chair, who will go on (in 2023) to serve as Chair of WSI and Student Representative to the WPATH Board of Directors, as an ex-officio member.
This elected position spans approximately 2 years.
- The elected person will serve as WSI Vice Chair from January 2022 until December 2022.
- Beginning January 2023, the elected person will assume the WSI Chair role until December 2023 (or until their successor takes the role).
The Vice Chair will spend the first year of their term working alongside the current Chair of the WSI.
This structure was adopted to ensure that at least two students will always be working together, providing the newly-elected Vice Chair time to learn the role and responsibilities from the Chair — allowing for a smoother transition. An annual election will be held for a new student to fill the Vice Chair role.
A successful student candidate should have a strong work ethic, be willing to devote a substantial amount of time to WSI and WPATH business on an ongoing basis (approx. 2 hours per week), attend scheduled WSI meetings, and have the capacity to respond quickly. If elected, candidates are required to attend scheduled WPATH Board of Directors meetings. The Chair should also plan to attend the WPATH Biennial Scientific Symposium during their term.
Ideal candidates are people who are deeply committed to the WPATH Mission and Vision, and enthusiastic about working cooperatively with other Board members to strengthen WPATH.
Eligibility:
- Candidates are required to be a current Student Member of WPATH (Paid Member Dues for 2021 and 2022).
- Candidates must be currently enrolled as a student at the time of application. We define “student” by the same standards that WPATH does, hence if you are a student member of WPATH you are eligible for this role.
- Ideally candidates will be a student for the entirety of their term (2 years), however we recognize that different countries have different educational calendars that may impact this. Please address this in your personal statement.
The newly elected WSI Vice Chair will take office in January 2022.
If you are interested in the position of WSI Vice Chair please complete the application linked below by December 19, 2021.
Following the deadline, the ballot will be sent (including your submitted personal statement) to WPATH student members via SurveyMonkey. All candidates that meet the eligibility requirements will be placed on the ballot. Once the ballot closes, the newly-elected Vice Chair will be announced to the membership.
If you have any questions about this process or the role, please email Lane Kantor at lanekantor@PROTECTED.
