Hi Katie,

There is no reason why a graduate student cannot run for election. The only requirement that must be met is that the nominated person SHALL have paid the HL7 Canada membership fee.

Please review the document referenced in the original post for more information about the expectations of the role.

Best Regards,
Joanie
