The RV Industry Association (RVIA) Governance Committee has begun working on this year's board of directors election, marking an important milestone in the industry's organizational structure. The committee is responsible for overseeing the nomination process and preparing a ballot of qualified RV industry leaders. This process ensures that only strong candidates are considered for the positions available, which will be filled by the end of 2026.
The three seats up for election represent different segments of the RV industry: one manufacturer, one park model RV manufacturer, and one supplier. The successful candidates will take office on January 1, 2027, and begin serving their three-year terms. This transition is crucial for maintaining the association's momentum and ensuring its continued growth.
The nomination process is designed to identify strong candidates from member companies that are interested in upholding the responsibilities of the board of directors. The RVIA Bylaws provide a clear framework for this process, including requirements for nominations and review by the Governance Committee.
The election takes place during late August and early September, with results announced near the end of that month. This timeline allows the newly elected board members to settle into their roles before taking on the association's key responsibilities.
