The North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) will hold elections for four positions on the executive board this year. We are seeking enthusiastic and effective leaders like you to run for office! Nominations are open to current NASSS members, who can self-nominate or nominate other members with their permission. The nomination period is Monday, April 6 through Monday, April 20, 2026 (two weeks) for the positions below: President-Elect (3-year commitment). Secretary (2-year position). Member-at-Large (MAL) (1 position: US, Canadian, or international) (2-year position). Graduate Student Representative (2-year position). Newly elected board members will begin their duties by attending Board meetings at the 2026 NASSS annual conference.
