2024-2026 Executive Committee Election

OSUAP Executive Committee elections are just around the corner. This is your chance to actively shape the future of our organization. Serving on the committee provides an excellent platform for continuous learning and development, showcases your leadership skills and allows for collaboration with fellow professionals.

Elections will take place in May for the following positions: Vice-President, Secretary, Treasure and Member-at-Large (2). The position term is 2 years (September 1, 2024 – August 31, 2026).

Officers’ duties can be found in the OSUAP bylaws, or you can contact a current Executive Committee member with questions. We would very much like to see a robust panel of candidates, so we welcome any questions you may have.
