EBAA Board of Directors: Call for Candidates

EBAA is seeking members to serve on the Board of Directors for the 2023-2025 Board term. You will help shape the profession’s future by participating in strategic discussions, establishing EBAA’s policies, and governing the association. EBAA-member eye bank staff and Paton Society members are encouraged to apply for service.

Members may nominate themselves or may be nominated by others.  Completed nomination forms must be received no later than March 24.

Positions Open
