National SAA Nominations Process
Elections for the national SAA Board of Directors are held annually in February. Applications for nominees are accepted the fall prior, usually opening in November, and the official slate is recommended by the national SAA Nominations Committee to the standing national SAA Board of Directors for approval. Notifications are sent to current national SAA members (only those enrolled in a doctoral-level program) when the call for applications opens.

National SAA Elections Process
The national SAA uses an electronic voting platform managed by AssociationVoting. At the time of the election, current eligible members per the national SAA governance documents receive an email from AssociationVoting with a voting link and unique login information. Past unsubscribes from AssociationVoting communications or lapsed membership will preclude members from receiving voting emails. Questions about national SAA membership and resubscribing to AssociationVoting communications can be directed to membership@audiology.org.
