Apply for the IDSA Board of Directors: Help Shape the Society’s Future

IDSA’s success depends on its members who volunteer their time to serve in leadership roles. Toward this end, we are seeking applications for several open positions on the IDSA Board of Directors. Specifically, volunteers for:

• the office of vice president (who will become president-elect the following year, president the third year, and immediate past president the fourth year)
• three director positions on IDSA’s board (who will each serve three-year terms)

These terms will begin in October, immediately following IDWeek 2020.

If interested, please carefully review the ideal characteristics and position descriptions. To apply, visit the volunteer opportunities page on MyIDSA (member login required). The selection process will be in keeping with IDSA’s inclusion, diversity, access and equity goals. Our definition of diversity is broad and includes race, ethnicity, gender, work setting, region, professional activity and key areas of expertise, among other factors.

IDSA and HIVMA leaders will host an informational and interactive webinar Thursday, Feb. 20 from 4 to 4:45 p.m. ET. It’s the perfect time to ask questions and learn more about the 2020 IDSA and HIVMA elections process. Register today. The webinar will be hosted by:

This is an important way for individual members to shape and significantly influence IDSA’s continued success. Please consider applying.
