Board Nominations

 Each year, the OIA holds elections to its Board of Directors to replace the Directors who are completing their terms of service. Four seats will be filled at the next election; one of which is allocated to the American Osteopathic Association, and three of which are at-large seats that may be filled by nominees from any OIA member organization. Each seat’s term is three years (3), limited to two (2) consecutive terms, and begins immediately following the election, which will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2026 at the OIA’s Annual General Meeting in Paris, France.

The OIA has appointed a six-person Nominations Committee to carry out the board election process.

The nomination forms will be posted here on April 20, 2026, and completed nominations must be emailed to the OIA Secretariat ([email protected]) by 11:59 PM US ET on June 20, 2026. Please note that Part 1 of the nomination must be completed by an OIA member organization, and Part 2 must be completed by the nominee themselves.
