VIVO Community Nominations for Governance
Bridget Almas
Dear VIVO Community,
If you are affiliated with a VIVO member institution it's now time to nominate three community representatives to the VIVO Leadership Group.
VIVO Leadership needs input from active community members. Every year, the VIVO governance processes call for member institutions to nominate individuals from the VIVO community to serve on the VIVO Leadership Group.
Here’s how it works:
- Anyone affiliated with a VIVO member institution can nominate anyone to represent the VIVO community on the Leadership Group. Multiple people from the same institution can make nominations.
- You can nominate one, two, or three people using the Nomination Form.
- You can nominate yourself, as long as you’re affiliated with a VIVO member institution.
- Please send your nominations before midnight on September 30, 2025.
Once we receive nominations, we’ll ask for each nominee interested to submit a personal statement explaining why they are interested in serving on the Leadership Group. An election will follow and VIVO Community Liaisons will vote for three nominees.
Your voice is critical to VIVO, and this is your opportunity to help shape the VIVO Leadership Group. Send your nominations today!
If you have any questions about the Community Leadership Group nomination or election process, I'd be happy to answer them.
Thank you!
