VID Club Elections & Upcoming Midterm Candidate Forums

Dec 02, 2025

Each year VID holds elections for the Executive Committee for the following year.

If you’re curious about getting more involved with VID, becoming a Member-at-Large is a great place to start!
It’s a minimal time commitment—just one monthly Zoom meeting—
and a terrific way to learn more about the club, contribute your voice, and help shape our work.
