Each year, PDA members have an opportunity to help set the strategic direction of the Association by voting for Board of Directors candidates. This year, there are three open Officer seats (Chair-Elect, Treasurer and Secretary) and four open Director positions. Due to the change in PDA’s bylaws, three of these Directors will be directly elected by members with the fourth appointed by the Board.

Elections are open until Nov. 15; members in good standing as of Aug. 24, 2017 can vote online or at conferences held before Nov. 15 in the United States and Europe.
