Any member with direct knowledge of your achievements may write a letter of recommendation. Use the membership directory to obtain email addresses to contact your selected endorsers. For assistance, contact CNC@acr.org.

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 College Nominating Committee (CNC) member for the term nominated (through May 31, 2028).

Election Manual Publication

All candidate application responses, including relevant disclosures, will be published in the ACR Election Manual unless otherwise stated, if you are selected for the final slate. Candidates appearing on the slate will have an opportunity to review a proof page prior to publication.

Your curriculum vitae may also be made available to supplement the information published in the election manual.

Required Attendance at ACR Annual Meeting

All candidates are expected to attend the ACR 2026 annual meeting in person from May 2-6, 2026, in Washington, DC.

Candidates are required to attend the annual ACR meeting as well as to give a 2-minute speech before Council if running in a contested election. 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.
