Welcome! Thank you for your membership, and we look forward to your participation in the 2025 election. As a Senior Active/Competing or Senior Education/Non-Competing member in good standing, you are eligible to participate in the nomination process for Director At-Large positions on the Board. Elections to the USHJA Board of Directors are voted on by Board members based on input from USHJA membership through the nomination process.

Due to a recent update in the Jumper Athlete definition, the deadline for Jumper Athlete seat nominations has been extended to July 14 at 5pm Eastern. Please note that there is a very specific set of requirements to qualify as an Athlete, which can be viewed here. Only individuals meeting the Athlete criteria will be considered for Athlete seats. Nominations closed for the Hunter Athlete, Zone Council, and Affiliate Council seats on June 30.
