The NFED is continually strengthening our governance to guide and sustain our mission for the long term. That means building leadership bodies with a broad range of professional expertise, diverse lived experiences and identities, and expansive geographic locations. Nominations, including self-nominations, help us find people we might not otherwise know about.
Please submit one nomination per form. If you’d like to nominate more than one person, simply submit the form again for each person.
Note: Submitting a nomination does not guarantee an interview, appointment, or invitation to serve. All nominations are reviewed as part of NFED’s ongoing governance and leadership planning process, with new slates of nominees presented to the Board for consideration every November.
