2025 Elections

Welcome to the 2025 NYSACAC Executive Board nomination process. This year, the membership will once again self-nominate to be considered for an elected position to the Executive Board. Self-nominations for elected positions can be submitted until Friday, January 31, 2025, at 5 p.m. To be eligible, you must be an active member of NYSACAC in good standing.

The term of office for President-Elect is one year.

The term of office for Vice President for Communications is three years.
