Volunteer for service on HOD committees
Reference Committee F
Reference Committee F members serve for two years (three years if appointed chair). Appointments to this committee are made each year after the Annual Meeting. Members of Reference Committee F come to Chicago to meet with the Board’s Finance Committee in September and again in April. They also meet with the Board at each HOD meeting, generally on the morning of the opening session.
The deadline to submit the volunteer form is Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Apply now.
Election Committee
The primary role of the Election Committee is to work with the speakers to adjudicate any election complaint. Additional roles are to be determined by the speaker and may include monitoring election reforms, deliberating future campaign modifications, and responding to requests from the speaker for input on election issues as they arise. Individuals will serve 1-year terms, eligible for reappointment for not more than four consecutive terms and a lifetime maximum tenure of eight terms.
The deadline to submit the volunteer form is Thursday, Aug. 13 by 5 p.m. Central. Apply now.
