Serving in a leadership role is a meaningful way to help shape the future of SNEB. As of October 2025, SNEB uses a slate-based election system. The Nominating Committee prepares a unified slate of qualified nominees for all open officer and director positions, reflecting the Society’s diversity, strategic needs, and competencies. 

Nominees for President, President-Elect, and Treasurer must have previously served at least one term as a Board member or as Chair of a standing committee. SNEB members may not serve simultaneously as Board Members or Officers and Division Chairs. 

The Board endorses the slate before it is presented to members for a “yes” or “no” vote by electronic ballot. If the slate is not approved, a revised version will be presented within 45 days. Both nominators and nominees must be current SNEB members.  

Below, you’ll find descriptions of each position, including time commitments and term lengths.
