NIRSA members vote annually via electronic elections to fill positions on the NIRSA Member Network and the NIRSA Board of Directors. Elections for Member Network Regional Representatives, the Board of Directors, and bylaw amendments occurred in February 2023, and NIRSA congratulates those newly elected leaders.

This year’s Student Leader elections took place March 1-7, 2023. Students voted on candidates for the NIRSA Student Leader and Regional Student Leaders in Regions II, IV, V, and VI. While the remaining regions did not hold elections in 2023, their Student Leader candidates still participated in an appointment process, by submitting the same application materials as the elected students and being approved by leadership in the appropriate region.

NIRSA is excited to welcome the following new Student Leaders, who will begin their one-year terms on May 1:
