Call for Nominations: CUAHSI Board of Directors
Posted Aug 12, 2026
The CUAHSI Board of Directors Nomination Committee (Hoori Ajami, Jonathan Duncan, Christa Kelleher, and Tao Wen) are soliciting nominations from the CUAHSI community for the election of four Directors to serve terms from January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2029.
Board Directors are the fiduciaries of CUAHSI who steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as making sure CUAHSI has adequate resources to advance its mission. The mission and vision of CUAHSI and the current Strategic Plan are available for all to see.
Expected Commitment:
Board membership typically involves attending 1–2 virtual meetings per month (approximately 4–8 hours total). In addition, two 1.5 day in-person meetings are held each year (January and June), and in-person attendance is encouraged if possible.
How to Nominate:
We welcome self-nominations as well as nominations of others from affiliates of our member institutions, members of our hydrologic community from a wide range of perspectives, career stage, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and other identities. We especially welcome nominees with experience in fundraising, non-profit fiscal management and the non-profit legal realm, as well as those from the wider water science community who have not previously been eligible to run for the Board, including government and non-profit employees.
If you are nominating yourself, please let us briefly know why you are interested in the Director position and what strengths you feel you would bring to the Board.
If you are nominating someone else, we will reach out to that person to gauge interest and availability, so please make sure to include an email address of your nominee.
Following the CUAHSI Code of Conduct policy, all nominees will be required to complete a disclosure form before they are included on the ballot.
Nominations must be submitted no later than October 2, 2026.
Nominations as well as any questions regarding participation or eligibility may be directed to Hoori Ajami at email hidden; JavaScript is required.
