ASEEES invites graduate students or their advisors to submit nominations for the position of Graduate Student Representative on the ASEEES Board of Directors. The Graduate Student Representative is a voting member of the Board, elected to serve a two-year term from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. The Graduate Student Representative will be expected to attend the annual Board meeting held during the ASEEES Convention and take part in all Board discussions.

Students can self-nominate or be nominated by a faculty member who is a member of ASEEES. The Nominating Committee will then review all nominations and select two to serve candidates. The two candidates' names will be placed on the ASEEES Board election ballot to be voted on by all ASEEES members.
