The AAPS Nominations Committee is seeking nominations for president-elect and member-at-large of the Board of Directors for the term of 2026–2028. Terms begin on November 13, 2025, after AAPS PharmSci 360.

AAPS depends on elected Board of Directors members to fulfill our mission to advance the capacity of pharmaceutical scientists to develop products and therapies that improve global health.

Nominate a qualified colleague or yourself by completing the Call for Nomination Form by 5pm ET on January 14, 2025.

Nominees must:

  • Be AAPS members at the time of nomination and throughout service.

*Attention: AAPS members are prohibited from serving on more than one AAPS Committee at a time to ensure that many voices from the membership are represented in AAPS’ governance and in the selection of science and programming. 

Members will not be considered for roles on other committees until their term is complete.

Members may participate in short-term volunteer activities (e.g., task forces, moderating a session, serving as a mentor) at any time, regardless of their service on an AAPS Committee
