On Sept. 1, NKBA will start accepting self-nominations for its national elections. This is an opportunity to take volunteerism from the local to the national level by serving on the association’s Board of Directors (BOD) or one of its key standing committees. Open positions include:

  • Board of Directors (BOD) – Two positions
  • Chapter Leadership Committee (CLC) – Two positions
  • Leadership Recruitment Committee (LRC) – Two positions
  • KBIS Exhibitor Committee (KEC) – Three positions

To be considered for the Board of Directors, Chapter Leadership Committee or Leadership Recruitment Committee, candidates must be NKBA members in good standing. To learn more about open national volunteer roles, go here.

Please note that Chapter Leadership Committee (CLC) applicants must be a current chapter officer or have previously served at least one full term as a chapter officer within the last two years. The applicant does not need to maintain officer status, however, to remain in the CLC position.

Additionally, to be eligible for election to the KBIS Exhibitor Committee, applicants must have been an exhibitor at KBIS 2023 and must commit to exhibit at KBIS 2024.

Nominations will be open from Sept. 1 to Sept. 29, so be sure to apply starting on Friday!
