The ASHT Board of Directors is also asking members to vote on revisions to the ASHT Bylaws related to eligibility requirements for board service. The board seeks to decrease barriers of entry to board service, and thus recommends decreasing the Active membership eligibility requirement for board candidates from five (5) years to three (3) years. Please review the support material on the Board Elections page and cast your vote on the election site.

You have until August 2, 2022 to cast your vote! If you are an eligible voting member of ASHT, please visit our online election site to vote.
