NIRSA owes its success to the leadership of dedicated volunteers—to members who generously donate their time and use their experience in the collegiate recreation profession to support NIRSA members and strategically direct NIRSA’s operations and services. Thanks to these dedicated members, NIRSA continues to offer the best professional development, networking, and resources to the collegiate recreation profession.

NIRSA members vote annually via electronic elections to fill positions on the NIRSA Member Network and the NIRSA Board of Directors. Elections recently closed, and the Association would like to thank the members who voted—just over 24%. From the highly qualified slate of inspiring individuals who stood for office to the dedicated members who took time out of their busy schedules to vote, the strength of our Association depends on your voice—and you’ve made it count.

The Association is pleased to welcome our incoming professional leaders to positions on the 2024-2025 NIRSA Board of Directors and Member Network beginning on May 1.

Member Network Student Positions

The recruitment period for some student representatives on the Member Network was delayed allowing the current Member Network representatives more time to engage with students about the opportunity to serve in this leadership role. The student slate will soon be available on the NIRSA website and student members will have the opportunity to vote during elections which will take place March 4–7, 2024.

For more information, contact the NIRSA Member Director, Sarah Leskovec.
