We accept Board of Directors nominations throughout the year. Our review process begins in the Spring of 2026.
- As required in the NDSC By-Laws, the Nominating Committee comprises the Immediate Past President (Chair), two current Board members, and two other stakeholders well-connected to the NDSC community.
- The Nominating Committee convenes to review applications, interviews viable candidates, and prepares a slate of candidates for presentation to the full Board of Directors for approval before new Board members officially become a part of the Board of Directors.
- Self-nominations and nominations by third parties are accepted (provided the third party has secured the nominee’s consent).
- Board nominations for 2026 will be accepted throughout the year, but the review process begins in Spring of 2026
- The Board of Directors, including newly elected Board members, convenes during their Board meeting at the Convention to elect its officers (Executive Committee) for the upcoming year.
- Each year, a Self-Advocate Board Member is elected through a separate parallel process by his or her peers
