Vice President/President-Elect (3-year term) Position Description 2026 Board Election Timeline:Nominations Open: June 5, 2025 Candidate Eligibility GuidelinesAll candidates must be ARSL members in good standing, and must maintain active ARSL membership for the duration of their leadership term. No more than one application from any one organization for candidacy shall be accepted. This is to limit conflict of interest and to keep a wide range of representation among all regions of ARSL. In the event we receive more than one, each application will be returned to both candidates for an “In-house” agreement. If it cannot be resolved internally, the Election Committee will make a decision as a whole and all decisions will be final. |
