AEA Board of Directors Application Form

Applications are now being accepted for the 2011 AEA board of directors election. To be considered for a position on the slate of nominees, AEA members must submit the application below. The applications are then reviewed by the Trusteeship Committee, who then assembles a final slate of nominees for a vote before the full membership. This slate is assembled based on certain needs or areas of expertise that may be needed on the new board.

A term is for three years and directors are expected to attend the convention (where the annual spring board meeting is convened), as well as the annual fall board meeting held at the AEA international headquarters offices in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Throughout the year, directors may be asked to volunteer time to serve on committees or complete special projects.

Applications are due by January 5, 2011.

All applicable fields are required.
