It is anticipated that we will receive many more proposed names than there are positions to be filled. While an individual’s experience and expertise are of primary importance, the selection of the final list of nominations also takes into account broad geographic and gender representation as well as other demographic factors within WGO’s governance structure.
Where applicable, previous membership in WGO committees, task forces, projects and initiatives will also be considered, in order to achieve diverse and balanced representation in each committee.
Please view WGO's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement.
Interested in nominating yourself or a colleague? Please contact your member society to express interest. Applications must be submitted by your WGO member society.
