There are going to be six open seats on the H+ Board of Directors in the election slated for January 11-15, 2010.

Humanity+ Board members set policy goals and oversee their implementation, contributing with their experience and expertise to the Humanity+’s work.

All voting members in good standing as of Saturday January 9th, 2009 are eligible to run in and vote in the Board election. Board members must be and remain voting members in good standing in order to run and serve.

The Board meets and votes virtually, so no travel is required, although Internet access is essential.

The term of service is two years, so the top five vote getters will serve in the five open positions Jan 18, 2010 – Jan 15, 2012. The sixth vote-getter will serve Jan 18, 2010 – Jan 15, 2011.

The period for self-nominations closes Saturday January 9th at noon EST. Voting will be conducted Monday January 11th to Thursday January 14th.
