NIRSA’s strength is rooted in robust member involvement and the NIRSA Nominations and Appointments Committee is seeking your help in its search for the best and brightest! This year, NIRSA will hold elections to fill the roles of President-Elect and At-Large Director on the NIRSA Board of Directors, as well as Regional Student Leaders for all Regions and Regional Representatives from Regions II, IV, and VI for the NIRSA Member Network. With your help, NIRSA can fill these important and influential positions with talented, thoughtful, and dedicated leaders to drive our Association forward.


Help us fill these open positions with talented, thoughtful, and dedicated leaders to drive our Association forward.

If you are interested in one of these positions, the Nominations and Appointments Committee has greatly simplified the application processes. Members interested in standing for election simply begin the process by submitting a résumé and a letter of application that details their qualifications for the position by September 30, 2013!

If you know a NIRSA member who would be an excellent fit for one of these roles, please consider making a recommendation to the Nominations & Appointments Committee by emailing the individual’s name and institution by September 30, 2013.

Recommended individuals will be contacted by the Nominations & Appointment Committee to explore their interest and further discuss the application process.

NIRSA elections also signal the time for members to review and vote changes to the Association’s Bylaws. The NIRSA Bylaws Committee is seeking for consideration any proposals to amend the NIRSA Bylaws in the upcoming elections cycle. Any proposals from the various leadership groups or from the general membership should be emailed to NIRSA Bylaws Committee Chair Greg Jordan, Director of Campus Recreation at Oakland University; suggestions should be submitted by September 1, 2013.
