Any LRC member in good standing who has been a member of the Club for at least three (3) years is eligible for nomination. Current Directors whose terms expire at the end of 2026 may also be considered.

No. Directors whose terms are expiring are not automatically re-nominated. All potential candidates—current Directors and eligible members—are reviewed by the Nominating Committee which selects an official slate of four individuals.

LRC members will elect four (4) Directors from those on the official slate put forth by the Nominating Committee plus those individuals who are placed on the ballot via the petition process.

You may vote for up to four (4) Directors.

As part of the Board reduction process ratified by the membership in 2025, there will be 17 Directors in 2027.

A Director serves a three-year term beginning January 1 following the election.

Serving as a Director involves more than attending Board meetings. Directors are expected to:

• Actively participate in Club governance and decision-making
• Serve on committees or support Club initiatives
• Contribute time and resources to advance the Club’s mission
• Work collaboratively and in the best interest of the LRC
