Board of Directors

Board Elections Open!  Run, nominate someone, or learn about recent changes to Bylaws that enable employees of organizational members registered as member sub-accounts to vote.  


This year's election for the Board comes with some changes, all with the goals of better representation and more inclusion in the guiding body of the association.

  1. New Seat Structure is an even split of three voting categories:
    • 3 seats elected by Accredited Vendors
    • 3 seats elected by Accredited Operators
    • 3 seats elected by General Membership
    One of each seat is up for election this year.
  2. New Voting Eligibility - the general membership seat will be voted on by a group that includes every member who isn't voting for one of the other two seats. Everyone with a valid membership in good standing gets a vote. Being in good standing on December 31, 2024, is essential to be included in the eligible voter lists we use to issue ballots.

We feel that these new voting groups will create the opportunity for different voices to join the board. Please nominate yourself or someone else if you are passionate about our direction and our relationship to the industry.
