Your national association (ARVC) needs your voice on its Board of Directors!

The ARVC Board of Directors nomination period is open for the four voting areas that have openings with three-year terms beginning on November 11, 2021. If you are interested in serving on the ARVC Board of Directors and would like to nominate yourself or someone else you must submit the appropriate nomination documentation to Susan Motley, senior executive director education and events, no later than July 13, 2021 for compilation and submission to the Nominations and Elections Chair.

This year there are open positions in Voting Areas 2, 3, 4 and 6. Nominees cannot be from Arizona, Pennsylvania, South Carolina or Wisconsin, as the ARVC bylaws require that all representatives come from different states. For a complete list of current Area Directors or a full copy of the ARVC bylaws please visit www.arvc.org.

All nominations must be accompanied with the signatures of fifteen (15) active voting-member parks from the nominee’s voting area. It is the responsibility of the person making the nomination to ensure that all fifteen (15) park signatories hold current and valid voting member status with ARVC, as defined in Article IV, Section 1. A link to this signatures form is available for download to assist in gathering signatures. **Electronic signatures on the form or scanned forms that have been signed are also accepted.**

The Nominations and Elections Committee will verify this upon submission. Petition signatures from non-voting members shall not be considered as valid and will not be counted, and may therefore render a petition invalid. In such cases, nominees will be notified by the Nominations and Elections Committee within fourteen (14) days of submission, and will have an opportunity to rectify the shortfall, subject to the submission deadline of July 13, 2021.
