The 2024 Governance & Nominations Committee is proud to present the 2025 Leadership Slate for AFA President and Board of Directors candidates.

The Governance & Nominations Committee has provided the following items to AFA voting members that will assist them in gaining more insight into the candidates and their skills, talents, and experiences:

• The candidate’s resume/vitae;
• The candidate’s responses to a series of short answer questions;
• The candidate’s recorded interview with the Governance & Nominations Committee.

Candidates were also asked to complete and submit a ‘Board Allocation Exercise’ designed to provide some insight into how the candidate may allocate their time and energy around the Board table to increase the impact of their work. Each candidate’s submitted allocation exercise is also provided for review by AFA voting members.

Members will ultimately elect one (1) candidate as the AFA President for the 2025-2026 term

Members will ultimately elect two (2) candidates to the AFA Board of Directors

Voting for candidates will commence on Tuesday, September 17, 2024.

All members actively registered or renewed by Monday, September 16, 2024 will be eligible to vote in the leadership elections. Current and future members are invited to visit https://afa1976.org/join-afa/ for more information about how to become or renew your AFA membership.  

Thank you to the 2024 Governance & Nominations Committee for their substantial work in recruiting, reviewing, and selecting candidates to serve our Association. Your work is deeply appreciated.
