The Fulbright Association is pleased to announce that the deadline for Board of Directors nominations has been extended to Monday, July 6, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET.
Serving on the Board of Directors is an opportunity to help shape the future of the Fulbright Association and advance the mission of international educational and cultural exchange.
We encourage members to nominate highly qualified individuals, including themselves, for service on the Fulbright Association Board of Directors. A limited number of openings are available for three-year terms beginning January 1, 2027.
Nominations must include a CV and a cover letter describing the candidate’s qualifications, interest in serving on the Board, and commitment to the Fulbright Association’s mission.

- Success in fundraising, partnership development, networking, community engagement, or mission-driven leadership
- Previous nonprofit board or leadership experience
- Expertise in areas that would benefit the Board, including finance, law, business, nonprofit management, fundraising, alumni relations, communications, or organizational growth

At a minimum, directors are expected to:
- Maintain active membership in the Fulbright Association
- Serve on at least one Board committee (most meetings are held via Zoom)
- Contribute meaningfully to annual fundraising efforts
