We're looking for students who have been through the fair, have opinions about how it could be better, and are willing to show up and do the work of improving it. If that sounds like you, apply.
Eligibility
- You are currently in grade 10, 11, or 12.
- You have competed at USEF at least once.
- You can attend roughly monthly meetings during the school year and be at the fair in March.
What the application asks for
- Your contact details, school, grade, and current GPA, plus a parent or guardian email.
- The years you competed at USEF and any awards you received (write "None" if you haven't won one yet).
- Seven short-answer questions: about yourself, why you want to join and what you'd bring to the board, your ideas for growing participation, fundraising, and improving the fair experience, and advice for a student doing a project during COVID.
- A recommendation letter from a teacher or mentor, uploaded as a PDF under 25 MB.
- Plain text only in your answers. Links are not accepted, so describe your project rather than pasting a URL.
Timeline
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. You'll hear back by email, usually within a few weeks. New members join at the start of the fall meeting cycle.
