GSA Elections

Your Leadership, Your Society!

GSA members voted to approve changes to GSA’s bylaws and articles of incorporation in January 2019, authorizing a plan to make several major updates to the Society’s governance structure. In June, GSA members will elect candidates for the Board of Directors and vice chairs for each section, the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE), and the Emerging Scholars and Professionals Organization (ESPO). 

Nominations Closed

The call for online nominations and self-nominations for board member and section vice chair positions opened on April 3 and closed on April 17. Read the Nominations Guide for more information about the descriptions, duties, and requirements of these elected positions. 

What happens next?

The Governance Committee is finalizing the 2-person slate for each position, and all active GSA members will receive an Election Guide with candidate information at the end of May. Elections will open for online voting on June 11 and close on July 1. The results of the election will be shared with all members in mid-July.
