The nomination deadline is in place to provide time for the Nominations and Elections Committee time to verify all candidates' eligibility for office, as well as provide an opportunity for all candidates to introduce themselves to the general membership in the February Response Time.

2012 Election Nominations Deadline is December 31, 2011!

Regional Directorship

Regional Directors are elected during the Business Meeting of their respective region.  Each region's meeting is held in conjunction with the regional conference.

Currently, each region is allowed up to four directors, whom serve as members of the NDEMSA Board of Directors.  Director terms are two years and staggered so that two directors are elected each year. 

There is currently no formal nomination process for Regional Directors.  Nominations are accepted during the Regional Business Meeting and candidates are verified at that time.  If you are interested in becoming a Regional Director and member of the NDEMSA Board of Directors we encourage you to attend your regional conference.
