Current SRCD members are eligible to nominate, and self-nominations are encouraged!

Below are details and links for nominating in the following categories:

• SRCD President-Elect
• SRCD Governing Council Members-At-Large
• SRCD Committee Members
• Student and Early Career Representatives to SRCD Committees

Elected and appointed individuals from each category will take office immediately following the May 2025 Biennial Meeting. The nomination platform will be opening soon. Thank you for your engagement and participation.
