Board of Directors
The board of directors of the Mayo School of Health Sciences Alumni Association (MSHSAA) provides direction for the association's future programming and activities. Its members represent various health sciences professions and geographic locations, and only Mayo School of Health Sciences (MSHS) alumni are eligible to serve on the board.
Nominations
Election of new board members takes place each spring at the MSHSAA annual meeting.
Any MSHS alumnus or alumna can nominate someone — or nominate himself or herself — to serve on the executive committee, or as a director or the vice president. Nominations are accepted throughout the year. Learn more about nominating someone, or yourself, for the board.
