A Message From The 2026 President Elect
A Message From The 2026 President Elect
First, on behalf of myself and other elected Directors, thank you! We are all excited to serve the members of NER in the upcoming year. We are already discussing and planning for a sensational year with some new events and adding new elements to those that already exist. Please look for additional communication in the coming weeks.
Given the approval of the new bylaws, which were effective immediately, I wanted to ensure all those elected had a position on the Board of Directors. I gathered all 2025 and 2026 elected officers to discuss how best to transition from the old bylaws to the new with a goal of doing what is best for NER. As members were voting based upon the 2017 bylaws, we decided to maintain the 1-year term for 2026. And while the roles of 6 of the 7 elected positions had a great match with the new board structure, the VP Driving role did not. After discussion and acceptance by all, the VP Driving will hold the Vice President role on the Executive Council.
Per the new bylaws, the 2026 Executive Council met to appoint the 2026 Standing Committee Chairs in early December. Please join me in welcoming the Executive Council and Board of Directors for 2026.
Regards,
Kristin Larson
