Being on the AUCCCD Board is an excellent way to assist in leading the organization and to help the association continue on its path as the leaders for college student mental health. The work of Board members includes 2 days of meetings before the annual conference, a mid-year meeting in the Spring that often coincides with other national conferences, board conference calls a few times per year and serving on 2-3 committees. All expenses associated with Board work and responsibilities are covered by AUCCCD.
For our association to continue to thrive, it is imperative that the Board is reflective of the entire membership. This means you are qualified to run! There is no minimum years of experience required to serve on the Board. The Board needs directors from all professional backgrounds, school sizes, personal backgrounds and characteristics. As we all learn to navigate this new world and continue to implement unique college mental health services models, with social justice front of mind, all voices should be represented on the Board. Members who want to contribute, learn, work and have some fun would make excellent Board members! We welcome the opportunity to address any questions you have about serving on this dynamic Board.
Upon the close of the nominations period, the Nominations Committee will review submissions and submit a recommended slate of board member candidates to the AUCCCD Board of Directors. The slate will be presented to the general membership for consideration prior to the 2025 conference. The results will be announced during the 2nd Business Meeting at the Conference.
