Dear Members of World Sleep Society,
Elections for World Sleep Society Governing Council are held approximately every two (2) years in coordination with the biennial WORLD SLEEP SOCIETY Congress. World Sleep Society members may vote at the membership meeting, or in advance by ballot.
The Nominating Committee determines the names and eligibility of individuals placed on the ballot as candidates for Officers and Elected Council Members. Ballots will consist of all individuals designated by the nominating committee for each office or position. Candidate names for each office or position are listed alphabetically. The election will be accomplished by a secret ballot of individual members in good standing, completed by the last day of the biennial WORLD SLEEP SOCIETY Congress.
Thank you for your vote. Below are the results. Further details are available in World Sleep Society’s bylaws. Or view the candidates that were on the 2019 ballot.
