Thank you for your interest in running for SSDP Foundation's Board of Directors! Being a Director on SSDP’s Board gives students an active and central role in SSDP's decision-making process.

I have read the following qualifications for student directors, I understand them, and I meet them. *
At least two-thirds of the sitting student and appointed Directors must be students elected by Congress. A “student” is an individual accepted, presently enrolled, committed to enrolling within one year of election, or having graduated or paused school less than six months before election, in a college, university, post-secondary educational institution, or other educational institution as determined by the Board, either full- or part-time; or a full-time student at a private or public high school. If at any time the number of students on the board falls below two-thirds, due to the vacancy among the Student Directors created by resignation, removal, disability or death, the board shall remain operative and replace the vacant seats at the following Congress. It it is the intention of the Board of Directors to adopt an expansion of qualifications to allow students and young people who are active chapter members to be nominated to run for a board seat. If you are a student, please review the qualifications at ssdp.org/about/bylaws. If you are a young person who is an active chapter member but not a student, please note that there will be forthcoming information regarding qualifications to serve on the Board of Directors.
