Who may nominate, vote, and serve?

IAPA Fellow members in good standing are eligible to vote and hold office. To be in good standing, a Fellow member must meet IAPA membership requirements, including having no outstanding membership balance or applicable sanctions.

Submit a nomination

Self-nominations and nominations of another eligible member must be submitted in writing to the IAPA Nominating Committee. If you nominate another member, their written consent is required before their name can appear on the ballot.

Submit a nomination using the link above by NOVEMBER 30, 2026 at Midnight CT.

How voting will work

Eligible Fellow members will receive an electronic ballot by email or other electronic means. Ballots will be distributed no later than December 1, 2026. The ballot will include the voting deadline and instructions.

Voting will remain open for at least five days after the ballot is sent. IAPA staff will tabulate the votes, and the Nominating Committee chair will verify the results. Candidates are elected by a majority of votes cast. If a position results in a tie, a new ballot will be sent for that position.
