    Board of Directors: Nominations Now Open

    Did you know that when you attended Nuke-Con 2023, you became a member for the full year until the next convention begins?

    As a member of Nuke-Con, do you want to help guide the direction of the convention?

    The Board of Directors, comprised of five people who are appointed directly and two more who are elected by fellow Nuke-Con members, has responsibility for the general oversight and financial well-being of the organization. The Board of Directors also helps to ensure effective and efficient management of the organization’s operations. In other words, the Board of Directors guides what Nuke-Con does.

    The Board is currently preparing for the election of one Director by the general membership.

    If you are interested in running for one of those two positions, visit our nominations page for details.
