The Board meets periodically throughout the year.

Any regular VSS member in good standing may be nominated, with the exception of individuals now on the board, or who have served on the board within the last four years.

Each nomination must be endorsed by 3 regular or postdoc VSS members. One person should email the nomination to  <mailto:vss at visionsciences.org> Shauney Wilson with a cc: to the other two nominators. The other two nominators should indicate their endorsement by forwarding the nominating email to  <mailto:vss at visionsciences.org> Shauney Wilson.
