National Board Election

Voting for our NSP Board of Directors opens October 15 - December 1. Before then, eligible voters will have several opportunities to learn more about the candidates.

​

The Board of Directors runs NSP, so understanding who the Board candidates are is critical to the success of our organization. The Board is comprised of 13 members. Every year 4-5 members are elected. Five members will be elected this year. Board members serve three-year terms and can serve up to two consecutive terms.

​

You can read about the eleven candidates in their own words on the NSP website. Here, you will find each candidate's Resume and Application.

Who should I vote for?

We can't tell you who to vote for. We recommend that you read the candidates' applications, resumes, and position statements and decide who you feel is best suited to lead the organization into the future. The Eastern Division Board (all 15 Region Directors) have evaluated all the candidates and strongly recommend the candidates listed below. Remember, this is your choice, so do your own research and make your own decision.

​​

  • Liz Dodge (Pacific Northwest Division)

  • Deb Endly (Central Division)

  • Joseph "Butch" MacQueen (Eastern Division)

  • Lance Vaughn (Far West Division)

  • Jeff Wille (Rocky Mountain Division)

​

There are five open slots, and many highly qualified candidates. You can vote for one, two, three, four or five candidates. If you would like to discuss this, please contact Skip Mudge
