SPECIAL MEMBER BULLETIN

New NFDA Website!

While a more formal announcement is forthcoming, we wanted to let you know that after many months of work, we have launched our new website.

As part of the redesign, some page URLs and navigation pathways have changed. If you previously bookmarked pages or saved direct links, you may need to update those bookmarks to reflect the new website structure.

If you are having difficulty finding information, we encourage you to begin from the homepage or use the website search function. If you continue experiencing problems, please call your member services representative at 262-789-1880 for assistance in locating the information you need.

Prepare for the 2026-27 NFDA Elections

The 2026-27 NFDA Board of Directors election will open on June 11, 2026.

NFDA has partnered with Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS) to administer this year’s election electronically. Eligible voting members will receive a ballot via email from NoReply@DirectVote.net on or around June 11, 2026.

To help ensure your ballot email arrives safely in your inbox and is not filtered as spam or junk mail, please add NoReply@DirectVote.net to your approved senders or safe sender list before June 11.

Eligible voters who do not have a valid email address on file with NFDA will receive voting credentials and instructions via U.S. mail.

Please note that NFDA.org recently underwent a website refresh. While some direct URLs to election-related information, including candidate profiles, may have changed as part of the redesign, election information has remained continuously available at NFDA.org/Elections.

Qualified NFDA members will vote electronically for officers on the Board of Directors from June 11-24, 2026. Those elected will serve a one-year term beginning following the 2026 NFDA International Convention & Expo. The individual elected as president-elect will automatically assume the role of president following the 2027 NFDA International Convention & Expo.

During the NFDA Leadership Conference, August 2-5, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky, state association representatives will elect two at-large representatives to the Board of Directors. Each elected representative will serve a two-year term beginning after the 2026 NFDA Convention.

If you have questions regarding the election process, please contact NFDA at NFDA@NFDA.org.

Thank you for your participation in the leadership and future of NFDA.
