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.
