Nominations are now open for the five (5) NSSA Director-at-Large positions for the 2027-2028 term. Current members of the Board of Directors will elect the Directors-at-Large, July 16-31.

Candidates must be current, paid NSSA members. Complimentary members and Crossfire shooters are not eligible. Members who wish to run for the position must submit a nomination form with the endorsement of their state association OR the signatures of five (5) paid NSSA members. (Candidates who are state association officers may not endorse themselves.) Directors-at-Large have full voting rights and follow the same guidelines as other elected Directors.

NOMINATION PROCEDURE

1. Complete a Nomination Form. Download the Director-at-Large Nomination Form and provide all the requested information.

2. Obtain endorsement signature(s). You may obtain either the signature of an officer of your state association OR the signatures of five (5) current, paid NSSA members.

• If obtaining the signature of an officer, complete that area on the nomination form.
• If obtaining signatures of five members, use the separate NSSA Director-at-Large Candidate Endorsements page. You may have all five to sign that form and submit all signatures at once, or you may submit individual forms for each signatory. To do the latter, simply download the form, email it to your endorsers, and request that they sign and email the form to us. Make sure the candidate’s name and member number is filled in at the top.

3. Email nomination form and endorsements to NSSAElection@nssa-nsca.com.
