The SVS has opened the nomination period for the position of SVS vice president, with the deadline set for March 15. Anyone can nominate/self-nominate for vice president, but only Active and Senior SVS members in good standing are eligible for the position. Following the deadline, the SVS Nominating Committee will review the nominations and select two-to-four candidates to run for office.
Previously, only two candidates were selected to run for open positions on the SVS Board of Directors. During the 2023 bylaws referendum, SVS members approved an increase in the number of candidates to between two and four, allowing members to have a broader choice when casting their votes for SVS leaders.
The Nominating Committee seeks qualified, eligible members from all aspects of gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, geographic location and practice environment as nominees for the open position.
“The change to the number of potential candidates is exciting,” said SVS Nominating Committee Chair Ronald Dalman, MD. “Being the chair of this committee in a year of such monumental change is an honor, and I look forward to seeing which members will be nominated.”
Once the candidates are selected, eligible voting members can cast their votes through an online portal in June, with the results being announced at the SVS Annual Business Meeting on June 22 at the end of the 2024 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM 2024) in Chicago.
Anyone looking to submit a nomination for themselves or another eligible candidate can visit vascular.org/2024VP.
