Nominations for Society's Board of Directors Due Dec. 31
Are you interested in serving on the NYSSCPA’s Board of Directors? The Society’s Nominating Committee is accepting submissions of interest by members to fill key leadership positions on the NYSSCPA’s Board of Directors. Terms begin on June 1, 2022. The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, Dec. 31, 2021.
Open positions for 2022–2023 are: president-elect, which means serving a one-year term and then automatically becoming president for a one-year term; four posts for vice president, which carry a one-year term; secretary/treasurer, which ordinarily serves two consecutive one-year terms; and five at-large directors who ordinarily serve a three-year term.
Members may nominate themselves or be nominated by another member. Before submitting the name of another member for nomination, please confirm that the candidate is willing and able to serve. We also request that you submit a biography or résumé for yourself or the candidate, and an email or letter indicating why you or that person should serve on the Board of Directors as a Society officer.
Please email your nominations and suggestions to the Society’s Nominating Committee, in advance of the Dec. 31 deadline, at nominations@nysscpa.org.
