The Board of Directors is the governing body of Epilepsy Alliance America. Since our inception in 2028, Select Partner Member Organizations have had the ability to nominate individuals to the Board of Directors.
Epilepsy Alliance America is committed to building a Board that reflects a broad range of perspectives, lived experiences, and professional expertise.
We welcome candidates from across the epilepsy community, including—but not limited to—patient advocates, nonprofit leaders, clinicians, caregivers, and individuals with lived experience. Experience with one of Epilepsy Alliance America’s member organizations is a helpful, but not a requirement. We strongly encourage nominations from individuals of diverse backgrounds, including differences in race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, geography, and professional experience.
Epilepsy Alliance America is particularly interested in candidates who can help strengthen the organization’s governance, sustainability, and national impact as we work to improve the quality of life for people living with epilepsy through education, advocacy, awareness, and support.

Materials should be submitted by September 30, 2026 to be considered for the terms beginning on January 1, 2027.
