Chapter Verification

Applicants must obtain verification of their councilor status from their chapter for the position of Council Steering Committee (CSC) member or Councilor/Alternate Councilor status for the position of CNC member for the term nominated (through May 31, 2028).

ACR Annual Meeting

The 2026 ACR Annual Meeting will be held May 2-6 in Washington, DC.

Candidates are required to attend the annual ACR meeting as well as to give a two-minute speech before council. Should extenuating circumstances prevent a candidate from attending and making a live in-person speech, the candidate may remain on the ballot but forfeits the opportunity to address council. In these circumstances, the candidate must request to be excused by the CNC via email.
