While all community members are welcome to submit nominations, nominees must be IZFS members in good standing who have paid their 2024 dues. We welcome nominations of individuals who are forward thinkers, strategic planners, and dedicated volunteers active in the zebrafish community. Self-nominations are also welcome. In order to be considered for Board nomination or to vote in the election, please consider joining IZFS by obtaining a membership or renewing your membership if your dues are not paid through May 31, 2024.

Nominations will be reviewed by the IZFS Nominations Committee who will determine the final ballot in accordance with IZFS bylaws. Thank you in advance for your nominations.

The International Zebrafish Society is a member-driven organization of over 1,000 researchers with rich and diverse backgrounds from around the world. IZFS is committed to ensuring that the Board of Directors reflects and represents the diversity of the IZFS membership, including but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, and geographic location. Please consider nominating IZFS members who are traditionally underrepresented in leadership as we continue to foster a welcoming and collaborative environment for all members of the IZFS community.
