Elections

Openings for new officers for the D&D Board are announced shortly after the fall conference. People may be nominated for open positions or they may self-nominate. Prior experience as an active member is encouraged but is not required.

The election takes place (via the AECT website) in February of each year, with the new officers taking their position starting with the Board of Directors meeting the following fall. For example, if a person is elected as a Board Member in February 2021, that member begins their term in October 2021.

To nominate others or to nominate yourself, please send a brief note of interest to the Past-president at aectdddivision@gmail.com
