NIRSA owes its success to the leadership of dedicated volunteers—those members who generously donate their time and use their experience in the collegiate recreation profession to support NIRSA members and direct NIRSA’s operations and services. Thanks to these devoted professionals, NIRSA is able to continue inspiring and sustaining powerful communities of wellbeing worldwide!

The Association is currently recruiting for a variety of volunteer leadership positions. Consider using your talents to help shape the future of NIRSA! Appointment to a NIRSA leadership position is an honor and privilege—as well as a tremendous opportunity for personal and professional development. Give back to your association and our profession: apply to serve by January 15!

With each position comes the responsibility to fulfill duties and obligations in the highest professional manner while upholding the mission, goals, objectives, and values of the Association. You can learn more about the open leadership positions, and the related application process, on the NIRSA website.

Members also have the opportunity to apply to serve on NIRSA’s Strategic Value Commission for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Visit the NIRSA website to learn more about NIRSA’s Strategic Values Commission for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and to apply. Members interested in contributing their experience and expertise to other Strategic Values Commissions are encouraged to become active contributors to the Communities of Practice.

If you’re interested in serving NIRSA through a role on a NIRSA committee or work team, you can read more about the process for the NIRSA Committee and Work Team Application in this news article. For those of us who have been longtime NIRSA members, we might remember this application as the NIRSA Committee Preference Form.
