We were fortunate once again this year to have a number of highly qualified individuals express an interest in serving on the ACT-IAC Board of Directors. After extensive deliberations, the Nominating Committee developed a highly qualified slate of candidates that has been unanimously endorsed by the Board of Directors. This year’s election will fill the following vacancies on the IAC Executive Committee: Vice Chair for Finance (1 position) and Vice Chairs at Large (4 positions). All of those elected will assume office on July 1, 2026. The Vice Chairs at Large and Vice Chair for Finance will serve two-year terms.
We are delighted to have such an outstanding slate of candidates this year. All have great experience as well as proven track records of commitment to and participation in ACT-IAC activities. The Nominating Committee and Board of Directors are in unanimous agreement on the following individuals to stand for election:
Vice Chair for Finance (1 position to be filled):

Additional Information. In the days ahead, please keep an eye on the ACT-IAC daily News Flash email where we will be periodically highlighting the election process as well as providing links to the ACT-IAC website where you will be able to read bios for each candidate.
