Nominations are now open for members of the NSSA Board of Directors, the first governing body to be elected this year. Each state, province, U.S. military service branch, and other regions will elect at least one Director, with the number based on the number of members counted there as of December 31, 2019. 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 NSSA members from the same state/province/territory.
