Every three years, the Nominations Committee solicits open nominations for candidates for the four Discipline Representatives on the Board of Directors (e.g., Communication Representative, Theatre Representative, Debate Representative & Forensics Representative) between April 15 and May 15.

Discipline representatives serve on the Board of Directors and are expected to represent their discipline in ACTAA leadership, assist with resource sharing within their discipline, and attend bi-monthly virtual board meetings, including the Summer Workshop in July and the Fall Conference in August/September (in person).

After the nomination period has closed, the Nominations Committee shall confirm that the nominees accept the nomination before publishing the ballot after the Summer Workshop in July. Elections will be held at the annual business meeting during the Fall Conference. 

The procedures for electing Discipline Representatives are outlined in Article IV § 10(2) of the ACTAA Constitution.

Please use the following form to nominate candidates for discipline representatives using the following form, https://forms.gle/JyQABpj3iBqgQ3s57.

Nominations should be active ACTAA members who are not in a presidential leadership role. If considering nominating an ACTAA member currently serving as an executive or appointed officer, consider asking the individual for their preferred service role before making the nomination.
