Happening Now
ELECTIONS:
Each year, we hold elections during the annual conference. This year, we will now be sending out the slate of candidates to all eligible voting members electronically. If you are a full HCCA member in good standing and interested in running for a position on the Board of Directors, please submit your name and intention (as well as a short bio/optional photo and short reason for running) to the HCCA President, Maria Carl, mariacarlrogers@gmail.com, by March 31st.
The Board Member term is one year with the option to be reelected each year after that. It’s an excellent opportunity to be a part of shaping our industry and providing alternate perspectives to the process! There are currently six Director positions in addition to the President. To run for President you must be a current sitting Board Member.
(Please Note: The President position is not open for election this year as the incumbent serving a two-year term).
MEMBERSHIPS:
Despite the conference’s postponement, the majority of our existing memberships typically come up for renewal this time of year to coincide with the discount for attending the annual conference and the Association’s elections for Board of Directors. If you haven’t had a chance to renew your membership yet, or are thinking of joining, we encourage you to do so now—particularly so you can receive the discounted rate for the conference once the Fall Conference date is released.
Additionally, certified and full-membership status members are eligible to run for and vote for a Board Member position.
