HERDSA received two nominations for the position of HERDSA President Elect/President. The position of HERDSA President requires a three year commitment. For the first year, beginning at the 2024 conference in July, the successful candidate serves as President Elect, or the current President when already holding that position. The one-year position as President Elect enables a full induction of the incoming President into the current practices and systems of HERDSA before the full role of President is assumed at the conclusion of the 2025 conference.
