2022 AHA Board of Directors Election

Facebook Twitter Email Share

Slate of Nominees

The American Humanist Association is the oldest, largest, and only democratically structured humanist organization in the United States. Every two years AHA members vote to elect people to the board of directors to serve four-year terms, and the 2022 nominating committee has just announced the following slate of nominees:

Kelly Damerow
Vanessa Gomez Brake (incumbent)
Candace Gorham (incumbent)
Erik Gregory
John Hooper (incumbent)
Jill Martinez
Jim Palmquist
Darin Stewart

AHA By-Laws provide that additional nominations may be added by written petition received by the Nomination Committee within forty-five (45) days after the Committee’s nominations have been published to the members of the AHA. The Committee’s nominations were published on June 30th, so petitions must be received no later than August 15th.

The petition of each candidate added through this process must bear the signature of seventy-five (75) or more members in good standing, no more than thirty-five (35) of whom shall be from any one Chapter or Affiliate of the AHA. Petitions must be submitted by email to electioncommittee@americanhumanist.org.

An eligible nominee is any person, age eighteen (18) or older, who, at the time of the nomination, has been a regular member of the AHA in good standing for at least one (1) year prior to such nomination, and is a current member.

Ballots will be sent to all current members of the AHA in September. Join today.
