Weighing In
Voting for the 2026-2028 Board of Directors
The most important choices that ZRA makes needs the membership to weigh in. From selecting our leaders to approving the use of funds to modifying our most significant documents, we need our members to be engaged! To that end, the Nominations and Elections Committee is pleased to announce that voting opens for the vacant Board of Directors positions on Wednesday, June 3rd, and closes on Wednesday, June 17th. Professional members can click the "My Account" button during the voting window to access their ballot and cast their vote.
Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations and to those who accepted the nominations!
