Individual members can nominate someone or themselves at anytime prior to August 1st of each year. At that time, the NERHA will openly solicit nominations for the Board of Directors from the general membership. Each nominee must fill out the form below which includes a list of questions to be answered by all nominees that shall serve the purpose of demonstrating both their qualifications and interest in the offices or positions. Failure to respond to any or all of these questions is cause for an individual’s name to be removed from nomination.

All nominations are forwarded to the NERHA President–Elect who will present in writing to the NERHA Executive Committee a slate of nominations on or before September 15th of each year. In approving the slate to be presented to the membership, the executive committee shall keep in mind the importance of leadership that is broadly representative of the professional, institutional, geographic, ethnic and racial makeup of rural health.

The executive director will present in writing to the membership a slate of candidates approved by the Executive Committee on or before October 15th each year. Each member, in good standing, shall have the opportunity to vote in the election through an electronic method made available by the Association.

Results are announced by December 1st of each year,
