Application Requirements

To apply for an open position on the Executive Board, members must submit the following:

  1. Executive Board Application
  2. Institutional Support Agreement
  3. Current Resume/CV
  4. Application Video

Executive Board Application

The Governance & Nominating Committee (GNC) uses many criteria - including International ACAC Board service, volunteer experience, committee service, institutional support, leadership, reliability, event planning/organization experience, and service on other volunteer boards when considering an application. Whenever possible, the GNC shall make every effort to provide a geographic and institutional balance which roughly parallels the geographic and institutional diversity of International ACAC’s voting membership.

Institutional Support Agreement

All candidates running for election to the Board do so with the understanding that this is a volunteer position, however, they must be willing to commit an average of 3-8 hours per week. There will be times of the year when this is much less, and times when more support is required. It is important for the candidate to have both the understanding and support of their supervisor and institution.

3. Current Resume/CV

Candidates are asked to provide their most recent resume or CV to display their professional experience. This can be submitted directly in the application form, or can be emailed to the GNC (Elections@InternationalACAC.org) as long as it is received before the application deadline.
