Group Description
The DC Triathlon Club is electing it’s 2025-2026 Board of Directors. We are seeking motivated candidates for the 2025-2026 Board of Directors to join the current Board members serving out the remainder of their two-year term. We encourage all interested candidates to nominate themselves for Board membership. The nominating period is open from October 8-November 1. Following the nomination period, all candidates will be placed on a ballot that will be open for voting from November 2-November 22.
The guidelines for Club members who would like to run for a Board position:
- You must be a paid member for the 12-month period prior to elections, or receive a unanimous vote from the current Board, to be eligible to run (please don’t let this be a deterrent — contact us!).
- The term is a two year commitment (January 2025-December 2026) to the Board.
- The board meets once per month (2nd Monday of the month) and attendance or calling in is mandatory.
- The board typically holds a weekend retreat once a year.
You should expect to commit 2-5 hours per week for Club duties.
Positions on the board that have current board members running for re-election are:
- Director of Club Races–currently held by Derek Sprunger
The vacancies on the board that we are looking to fill are:
- Director of Membership: Click here to see the full position description
- Director of Gear: Click here to see the full position description
- Director of Partnerships: This will be held jointly in 2025 with our current Director of Partnerships, David Jiang as he shows you the ropes.
- Director of Training: Click here to see the full position description
- Director of Community: Click here for our full position description
NOTE: Keep in mind that all of these positions work in tandem with the rest of the Club’s Board of Directors and also work with volunteers to make them happen. So the phrase “in charge of” could be more administrative and planning related as opposed to boots on the ground direct activity.
If you would like to nominate yourself, please post in this group and let us know why you are a good candidate (e.g., what you have done for the Club, relevant experience that will help to make you an effective Board member, and what you would like to see happen in 2025). You must post by 11:59 pm on Friday, November 1 if you would like to be considered. Responses to this thread should only be to announce yourself as a candidate. Please send any questions to president@dctriclub.org.
Elections will be held via electronic ballot from Saturday, November 2 through Sunday, November 23. The new Board members will be notified on the following weekend and will be announced at our annual meeting on December 8.
