The BPMT Board of Directors Application closing date: 

 Friday, April 30, 2026

We look forward to reviewing your application and learning more about how you can contribute towards the success of our organization.

 

BPMT is actively seeking to fill 2 to 4 board positions. 

Board terms are staggered, with Directors initially serving one (1) or two (2) year terms. During the organization’s start-up phase, the Board will meet monthly for up to two hours. Directors are also expected to contribute time outside of meetings for item development training and exam item writing.

As the organization approaches the final stages of item development, an additional monthly working group meeting of approximately 1.5 hours will be required. Board members will receive pre-meeting materials in advance to support informed and efficient participation.

The Board may adjust the cadence of the meetings and determine what board committees are needed to help facilitate the work of the board. Board members are expected to be timely and present at every meeting, read all materials prior to meetings, and come to meetings ready to actively engage and participate.  Directors must also participate in fundraising and development activities (to include financial donations if able) to fulfill the mission of the organization. 

For your reference: Service on BPMT’s Board of Directors is without remuneration. As a registered organization in California, BPMT is legally prohibited from offering compensation to its Board members for their board-related duties. However, the organization covers travel, accommodations, and reimbursement expenses incurred in relation to BPMT duties, ensuring that members can fulfill their responsibilities without additional financial burdens.
