The election will take place July 17 through August 20. Balloting will be via the election website, except for those members who have opted out of electronic voting this year or who have not provided the SBE national office with their email address. They will receive their ballots through the mail.

The national SBE board includes 12 directors, four officers and the immediate past president. Directors serve two-year terms and officers serve one-year terms. Six director seats will be contested in 2015 as will all four officer positions. The SBE By-laws limits the number of terms of elected members of the board. Directors may serve three consecutive terms. The secretary and treasurer may serve up to four consecutive terms and the president and vice president may serve up to two consecutive terms. The maximum number of years anyone may serve on the board is ten. The time spent as immediate past president does not count towards the ten-year total.

The election takes place from July 17 through Aug. 20. Candidates elected will be installed into office during the SBE National Meeting in Madison, WI, on Oct. 14.
