It is time for our annual board elections!

Sherry Anderson once wrote, “Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.”

There are four open positions for the 2026 SEWI-ATD Board of Directors: President Elect, VP of Finance, VP of Marketing and Communication, and VP of Community Relations. The current board is already such an incredible team. I look forward to seeing what new opportunities and resources we will be able to give our members in the coming year.

The Nomination Committee has approved these candidates who now put forth to the entire membership. They include Melissa Braun (President Elect), Nicholas Nook (VP of Finance), Katie Schuda (VP of Marketing and Communication) and Kayla Thompsen (VP of Community Relations). In addition to the nominated individuals, members may vote for write-in candidates.

Chapter members will receive a direct email invitation to vote. The election will begin on Monday, September 15^th and end Friday, September 26^th. All members in good standing are eligible to vote. Renew or join to be eligible to vote. If you do not receive a direct election invitation email, or experience any difficulties while submitting your vote, please contact our chapter administrator at admin@sewi-atd.org.

Thank you for your time,

Kari Bogdan

President-Elect 2025
