Important Announcement: Leadership Transition & Search for Nevada Science Olympiad Director

Dear Nevada Science Olympiad Community,

We are writing to share an important update regarding the future leadership of the Nevada Science Olympiad (NVSO).

After a period of dedicated service, our State Director has stepped down from their role. We are incredibly grateful for their leadership and the immense impact they have had on STEM education and our competitive community in Nevada.

The Search for a New State Director

The NVSO Board is actively searching for a qualified individual to step into the role of State Director. Please note that in order to host a state competition in 2027, a replacement State Director must be found. If this vacancy is not filled, the NVSO 2027 tournament will unfortunately not be held.

To maintain the absolute integrity and neutrality of our competitions, the NVSO Board has established the following criteria for applicants:

• Higher Education Affiliation: The candidate must hold an affiliation with a College or University.

• No Active Team Affiliations: The candidate must not be affiliated with any active Science Olympiad team within the State of Nevada.

• Volunteer Position: Please note that this is a non-paid, volunteer position driven by a passion for supporting STEM education.

  
  

How to Apply or Nominate

The NVSO Board will be reviewing applications and making final selection decisions as candidates emerge.

If you meet these qualifications and are passionate about championing the next generation of Nevada's scientists and engineers—or if you know a colleague in higher education who would be a perfect fit—please contact us as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

The Nevada Science Olympiad Board
