IDSA and HIVMA Board elections begin July 8

Process will advance inclusion, diversity, access and equity goals

Elections for the IDSA and HIVMA Boards of Directors use a process designed to ensure that the Society’s leadership represents the full diversity of its membership. Our definition of diversity is broad and includes race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, geographic location, type of practice setting or activity, such as clinical versus nonclinical, and other factors.

Rooted in the Society’s principles of inclusion, diversity, access and equity, the slate-based election will provide members the opportunity to vote yes or no on a group of highly qualified and diverse candidates recruited and vetted by IDSA’s and HIVMA’s Leadership Development Committees, following a call for officer and director applications, which ran from March 4 to April 1. 

The IDSA section of the ballot includes one slate of candidates for four open positions — the vice president and three directors. The HIVMA section of the ballot includes one slate of candidates for six open positions — the vice chair and five director seats. Members are asked to vote yes or no on each slate.

Biographical sketches and personal statements for the candidates are posted on this page and are also being provided via email.

Voting is open from July 8 through Aug. 5 at 5 p.m. ET.
