Ready to run? Club elections candidate nominations deadline is Nov. 4

Nominations are being accepted through Friday, Nov. 4, for National Press Club offices and seats on the Board of Governors.

The five officer positions, restricted to Journalist members, are president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and membership secretary.

Three full three-year terms on the Board of Governors for Journalist members are open. A one-year Journalist governor term is open, the last remaining year in an unexpired term.

In addition, a three-year non-voting Board seat for Communicator members will be on the ballot.

Interested? Contact Kate Helster at  [email protected] indicating the position you want to run for and returning a completed copy of the Candidate Agreement Form.

After receiving confirmation, you’ll be sent a personalized petition link for members to sign. Twenty-five signatures from Journalist members are required to run for president, while 15 signatures are required for all other positions. Only Journalist members can sign petitions for officers and Journalist Board members, and only Communicator members can sign petitions for Communicator Board members.

All candidates also will have petitions at the Club. Members can sign either the virtual or physical petition. Signatures from both petitions will be added together when determining if a candidate has enough signatures to qualify.

Online voting opens Monday, Nov. 21.
