No nominations were submitted.
The NGS Board of Directors is a working board. Board members spend on average twenty or more hours a month in a variety of activities. Each member is expected to chair a committee or actively participate on one or more committees. Board members pay their expenses (travel, food, and lodging) to the three in-person board meetings each year. Board meetings are typically held at the site of the annual conference (usually a day or two prior to the start); at NGS headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia; and in Salt Lake City, Utah. Additional meetings are held as needed by Zoom teleconference. Attendance at the annual conference is expected of board members. No person shall be eligible for office who is not a member of the Society in good standing when nominated.
