Nominations

Board of Directors

It's time to nominate deserving AZVTA members for our 2025 election of Board of Directors. Our Board has a great responsibility to drive our VTA forward and maintain momentum toward our goals. 

​

However, we understand it may be intimidating to nominate yourself or someone else for board service. We are not requiring any experience with a not-for-profit or board of directors. We are very willing to show any AZ CVT the ropes, and help them develop their experience and career by getting involved and taking action. 

​

The responsibility is great and we expect a level of dedication and follow through. We ask only a few hours out of the month to attend virtual meetings and address any delegated tasks. Attendance and dedication to the AZVTA is vital. We appreciate you and your efforts to advocate for AZ CVTs! 

​

Email your nominations to azvtanominations@gmail.com. Your nominations must include the nominee's first and last name, their place of work, and any qualifications you feel they possess that would be an asset to the AZVTA.
