| August 13, 2025 Hello ABRF Members, The process for securing nominations for our next Executive Board (EB) members starts now, with you! Please forward the names of any individuals you believe to be qualified to serve on the Board, along with a brief recommendation. You are encouraged to nominate any of your fellow ABRF associates, as well as yourself. The Nominations Committee will then verify whether the candidate is eligible to serve on the Executive Board. Typically, this will require active ABRF membership for the past 3 years when joining the Executive Board in March 2026. At least three final nominees will be selected by the Executive Board to stand for election by the membership. Incumbent Executive Board members completing their first three-year term may also be included in the list of nominees. Executive Board members serve for three years (renewable for one additional, three-year term). Board leadership provides a worthwhile experience for individuals and offers ABRF essential leadership and direction. Candidates with prior experience through ABRF Research Groups, Committees, or Chapters and an interest in broadening their exposure to and shaping the future of biomolecular science would be most eligible to serve on the Executive Board. We also consider it important to have a Board that represents the great diversity of the ABRF, in all demographic dimensions and the great variety of technologies and core administrative matters. All recommendations will be kept confidential. Please send nominations by Friday, September 5 to the ABRF Nominations Committee via this short form or by emailing abrf@abrf.org.
