If you are employed by a SNIA Voting-Member company (in good standing) and wish to self-nominate and enter your name, or the name of a colleague (with their permission) for nomination, please fill out the application that follows.

Nominations must be received by midnight, Pacific Time on August 31, 2025.

SNIA is looking for candidates that can make a firm commitment to driving the industry forward, further the mission of the SNIA, and to develop and promote architectures, standards, and education through vendor-neutral collaboration of experts on data technologies that lead the industry worldwide. The SNIA Board of Directors and Technical Council Members are volunteers that meet face-to-face (as conditions permit) approximately four times per year and via teleconference calls in-between the face-to-face meetings. All Board members have a fiduciary and legal responsibility to the organization. All Technical Council members are acknowledged industry experts that work together to guide the direction of SNIA technical work, its reach and impact in the industry, and also guide committees and work groups that develop SNIA Architecture and SNIA Software.

The election will be conducted from September 1st (once the ballot is completed) through September 30th. Notification of the beginning of the voting period with instructions on how to cast votes will be sent to the designated (by company) SNIA Voting-Member representative on or soon after September 1st.
