The Secular Student Alliance is looking for dedicated leaders who would like to run for positions on the SSA's Board of Directors!  The SSA is a democratic organization and all SSA members are eligible to run for a position on the Board of Directors.  There will be six open seats in the election taking place this May.  Board terms are two years long.

Board members are responsible for setting goals and policy for the organization, fundraising, reviewing progress, and promoting SSA.  All Board members are expected to participate in fundraising.  We are happy to train you to do this, but you must be willing.

We have monthly phone meetings and also have a face-to-face meeting once a year--typically in July.  We ask only people who foresee being able to participate in at least 9 of the 12 phone meetings and the face-to-face meeting to run for the Board of Directors.

We would like to especially encourage students or recent students who have proven experience with their own campus groups and are eager to become involved at the national level to run.  This is a serious, volunteer time commitment, but it is worthwhile for those looking to remain active in the secular movement.

If you are interested in running, or would like to know more about the election process, please send an email (hemant(AT)secularstudents(DOT)org) with a brief bio and phone number.  Hemant must receive all email responses by Monday, April 13.
