The successful applicant will begin serving as President-Elect immediately following certification of the 2026 election results, serve as President-Elect through May 31, 2027, and assume the office of President on June 1, 2027.

The successful applicant will begin serving as President-Elect on June 1, 2027. This is a four-year leadership commitment: two years as President-Elect followed by two years as President. The position carries the President Elect responsibilities described above and progresses to the full responsibilities and commitments of the Presidency, including the possibility of external representation commitments.

Term: Two years. Directors-at-Large share the Board’s collective responsibility for AHNA’s governance, strategic direction, financial and organizational stewardship, policy, and oversight. Directors-at-Large should anticipate committee or liaison assignments, special assignments, and associated work throughout the year.
