The NWBA Board of Directors has three 'Elected Director' positions available for election at the 2025 NWBA Annual Assembly. Elected Director positions are voted on by Membership and serve a four-year term which will be 2025-2029.

• Elected Director (member) position, currently held by Teresa Skinner
• Elected Director (member) position, currently held by Mike Godsey
• Elected Director (member) position, currently held by Dug Jones

Holding a position on the NWBA Board of Directors comes with significant responsibility which includes setting the direction of the organization. It also involves making difficult trade-off decisions when matters are escalated to Leadership. All of this is in addition to a significant sacrifice of personal time.

Individuals interested in running for an open Board position, should review the Board of Directors Standards and Responsibilities document as well as the Qualifications outlined in the Bylaws BEFORE submitting a self-nomination (both references are included below).

Questions regarding the time commitment, requirements or any other Board of Director position inquiries should be directed to the Chair of the Governance Committee (Email Dug).

By Thursday, March 20, 2025 (60 days before Annual Assembly), self-nominations must be sent to the Governance Committee (Email Dug). Self-Nominations should include:

1. Resume
2. Bio with headshot photo included (optional)
