NIRSA membership votes annually, via electronic elections, to fill positions on the NIRSA Board of Directors and the Member Network as well as on any proposed amendments to NIRSA’s Bylaws. The 2017 Elections will launch on January 18 and close on January 30.

The Nominations & Appointments Committee reviewed numerous qualified applications and, with the endorsement of the 2016–2017 NIRSA Board of Directors, presents the following slate of candidates for the 2017 NIRSA Board of Directors elections. Professional members will have the opportunity to vote on candidates applying for President Elect and At-Large Director on the 2017–2018 NIRSA Board of Directors. They are also invited to vote on the proposed amendment to NIRSA’s bylaws, as are members of the Student Leadership Team.

Additionally, the Regional Nominations & Appointments Committees reviewed the various Member Network applications and, with the support of the NIRSA Nominations & Appointments Committee, presents the following slate of candidates for available Member Network positions. The NIRSA Member Network expands the regional network of the Association and creates opportunities for member involvement and leadership development. Professional members will have the chance to vote on their respective Regional Representative in Regions I, III, or V, and student members will vote on the NIRSA Student Leader and their respective Regional Student Leader.

As a reminder to all members, candidates for the NIRSA Board of Directors and the Member Network don’t “run for election,” they “stand for office.” All candidates have agreed to serve the Association and it is an honor to have any one of them represent the membership. Therefore, it is not appropriate for members to campaign on behalf of individual candidates.

An electronic voting platform will be in place for the 2017 Elections. Please make sure your member profile on NIRSA Connect is updated with your current email address so you can exercise your opportunity to vote! Only those professional and student members whose NIRSA membership is active as of 8:00am PST on January 17 will be eligible to vote.
