2024 Board Of Directors Election - Current Members Please Vote Now!

Each year American Whitewater's membership ratifies Board of Director members to serve three-year terms. These candidates volunteer to serve on the American Whitewater Board. Current American Whitewater members can cast their votes through Midnight Pacific Time, December 27th. American Whitewater has two Director Nominees to fill two open seats in this election, and you may vote for up to two candidates on the slate. The ballot for our Board of Directors election is placed online here.

You must be a current American Whitewater member and have your membership number to vote. Don’t know your member number? Searching your email inbox is an efficient way to find your member number, as whenever you joined or renewed, an email was sent to you with a digital membership card linked in it. If you can’t find that or have questions regarding your membership number you can contact Bethany Overfield, AW Membership Director, at membership@americanwhitewater.org. Please exercise your American Whitewater membership right to vote on this outstanding slate of candidates for the AW Board of Directors.

American Whitewater Board of Directors Ballot

As required by the American Whitewater bylaws, the Nominating Committee of American Whitewater is responsible for the process of identifying, recruiting and nominating diverse, highly-qualified nominees for the Board. This is done by a thorough review of incumbent, self-nominated, and recruited nominees. All nominees are assessed against selection criteria set by the Board. For a nominee to be seated, the majority of ballots cast must be affirmative (for). Any nominee who fails to receive a majority "for" vote will not be seated and the position may be filled by Board appointment until the next election cycle.

Organizational governance and the continuity of such governance are key responsibilities of our Board of Directors. American Whitewater is very fortunate to have Board members with a passion for our mission and a mix of appropriate skills to help guide AW and meet the challenges we face, both now and in the future. Thank you for your participation in this important election process.

Please place your vote by Midnight Pacific Time, December 27th, 2024 by using this member ballot.
