In 2025 the AAEP is instituting a new election process for the positions of Director and Vice President on the AAEP Board of Directors. AAEP members will be presented with two candidates for the office of Vice President and four candidates for the two open Director positions.

The election will take place in mid-July via electronic ballot; a ballot will be mailed to any member without an email address.

We invite you to learn about each candidate and their desire to serve the AAEP membership before casting your ballot.
