Both positions are 3-year terms. Read the full job descriptions and expectations.
The Nominations Committee considers many factors when selecting candidates, including:

About the Process
Over a series of several meetings, the Nominations Committee will review the applications of those who self-nominate this year, others who have self-nominated in the past 3 years, individuals who fit the perspectives most needed on the Board in a particular year, as well as names/applications maintained on a roster of potential future leaders. Per the STFM bylaws, the Nominations Committee recommends to the membership a slate of candidates for the open Board positions. Those candidates on the slate submit a personal history, position statement, answers to leadership questions, and a short video. These materials are shared with all STFM members eligible to vote. The bylaws require a membership vote on the slate.
The deadline for applications for consideration for the 2020 Board positions is August 12, 2019. The Nominations Committee will confirm candidates by January 1, 2020. Individuals who self-nominate will receive notification of the Committee’s decisions shortly after these confirmations are made.
