Admin Council Chair:

The Admin Council Chair seat for 2025-2026 has not been filled by any currently eligible Admin Council member. Once 2025 regular elections are complete and member eligibility is re-established, Administrative Council will hold an internal election for the currently vacant Chair seat for 2025-2026.

• If the division or area vacated by the new Chair-Elect received nominations in the 2025 regular election, the nominee with the next highest votes will be invited to fill the seat vacated by the Chair-Elect for a special 1-year term (2025-2026).
• If the vacated seat cannot be filled with any of the candidates in the 2025 regular election, a call for nominations will be sent out in early summer followed by a special election for a 1-year term (2025-2026) to fill the vacancy created by the Chair-Elect.

If you are interested in self-nominating or nominated a colleague, please fill out the nomination form by Wednesday, May 21, at 5 PM.
