Each year, SVU accepts nominations for a student representative to sit on the SVU Board of Directors. The Student Director is a full-voting member of the SVU Board, and will be expected to attend two board meetings: one in January at a location TBD, and one in the summer at the SVU Annual Conference (next date: Aug. 6-8, 2020, New Orleans, LA). Travel, lodging, and other expenses for both meetings will be covered by SVU.

Requirements

• Must be an SVU student member and remain a member while on the Board
• Student must be in a degree or certificate vascular program*
• Must be available to attend two in-person meetings, participate on a committee and attend quarterly conference calls

*Note: Students who graduate during their tenure on the SVU Board will be allowed to remain on the Board for the remainder of their term.

The application period for the 2020 Student Director closed. We will begin accepting applications for the 2021 Student Director in early 2020. Application periods typically run from January through the end of May, but this is subject to change.
