The AAFP Executive Board’s role is to:

• Offer strategic guidance, direction, and resources for the Association
• Act in the best interests of the Association

The Governance Committee will be seeking nominations for the 2025-2026 Executive Board in early February 2025. Positions will be open for Directors and President-Elect. The terms will begin on September 21, 2025.

Directors serve a two-year term; the President-Elect serves for one year and becomes President the following year and then Immediate Past President.
