3. Elected officers will attend Chapter board meetings (held monthly).
4. Each officer shall preside over their office in a manner consistent with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
5. The elected board members assume their duties on January 1, for a one-year term.

Elections are closed for the San Diego AEP 2022 Board of Directors. Thank you to all who participated!

However, there are many ways you can actively participate in San Diego AEP outside of the Chapter Board, including volunteering at events, presenting at luncheons or at CEQA training, and serving on a program committee. We are always in need of photographers at luncheons and other events, or someone to help with greeting and registration. Whether it is a one-time commitment to an ad hoc committee or a more permanent position, there is room for active participation by each of our members. Please reach out to any of our board members listed below to find out more!
