Elections
AVMA members power the work of the Association. Electing representatives to the Board of Directors is one of the most direct ways in which every member exercises a voice. The Board's district directors are elected by members from each of the AVMA's 11 geographic districts. The Board, in turn, elects AVMA's officers.
Call for nominations
Nominations are open for candidates to represent Districts 7 and 9 on the Board of Directors. District 7 includes Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. District 9 includes Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Utah.
The new directors will take office in June 2024, when the current members’ terms expire. Each will serve a six-year term, ending in 2030.
Nominations are due no later than February 1, 2024. Voting will take place March 1-31, 2024.
