About the Elections

Members of the Board of Directors are the people who set the course for the FTTH Council Americas and make critical decisions regarding its activities and programs. It is vitally important that those who serve on this body have the skills and experience necessary to ensure that the Council is always headed in the right direction and that it continues to deliver value to the fiber to the home industry. Annual elections for members of the Board of Directors are held each year during the 4th quarter at the Premier Members’ Strategy Session for terms that commence as of January 1 of the following year.

Commencing with the 2013 Board, members will be elected for three-year terms and must be from active Premier-level Council member companies. And only Premier-level members can vote in the elections and each member has only one vote. We encourage members to upgrade to Premier and take part in shaping the Council's future direction.

During the current transition period to three-year terms and the implementation of term limits, the number of Director openings and length of terms may vary until 2015.

To nominate a candidate, please contact Heather Burnett Gold at heather.b.gold@ftthcouncil.org. Each candidate should be prepared to give a short presentation at the Strategy Session as to why they are interested in running for the Board and their qualifications.
