AES uses the Board nomination process to identify an effective leadership team. The process is open and transparent to ensure fresh ideas on the leadership team while maintaining continuity and insight into the Society's functions. The Nominating Committee recognizes that diversity of experience and background is a pillar of AES culture that enriches AES decision-making.
During
the nomination period, AES members are invited to nominate themselves or other
involved, qualified members for open positions. Only members in the Active and Professional categories are eligible to
hold elected office and vote. Members
currently serving in senior leadership roles for the Society, that is, chair or
co-chair of a Council or committee, or associate, senior, or chief editor of
Epilepsy Currents, whose terms will not expire before January 1, 2025, are
not eligible for consideration.
