Board Nominations
Why Serve on the NACS Board of Trustees
Serving on the Board is a meaningful way to give back to the industry, influence key decisions, and help lead what comes next. Board members guide strategic priorities, support the development of impactful programs and services, and ensure the voices of campus stores are heard on the issues that matter most. It’s also an opportunity to grow as a leader, build meaningful professional connections, and be part of something bigger—advancing the future of collegiate retail.
Nomination Process
The NACS Nominating Committee will interview candidates between October and December. After all interviews have been completed, the committee will meet to select the slate of candidates to present to the NACS Board at its next meeting. Once the board approves the slate, the NACS Nominating Committee Chair will notify all candidates of their status by phone. Following board approval, the slate will be announced in the next issue of Campus Marketplace. Ballots will then be distributed to the membership for voting, and completed ballots will be submitted to NACS’ auditors for tabulation.
Nominations close October 8, 2026.
