• Experience with alternative routes to teaching (within or outside higher education)
• Current employment as a P-12 teacher or administrator
• Diverse demographics and geographic locations in relation to current directors

See the list of current directors at https://aaqep.org/board-of-directors. The nominee need not be affiliated with AAQEP.

About the Board

The AAQEP Board of Directors is an all-volunteer governance body. The Board meets remotely four times a year to set policy, review activities and performance of the association, review and approve the annual budget and independent financial audit, and perform other duties as described in the bylaws. For 2025, the Board will hold an orientation January 28 at 3:00 p.m. EST and quarterly meetings on four Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Eastern: March 14, June 13, September 12, and December 12. Once appointed, each director also is expected to serve on one or more of the Board committees—Governance, Nominating, Quality Expectations, and Research & Evaluation—which hold separate virtual meetings, up to once per month.

Deadline

Nominations must be received by midnight EDT October 15, 2024.
