USARA election of Association Officers is an Annual Event, with one half of those officer holders being elected each year. The election is held not later than the month prior to the Annual Ranger Muster (ARM), with the newly elected officers taking office at the ARM.  This year’s ARM is July 22-26, 2013 in Columbus, Georgia.

During the month of April all members will receive a special edition of the Ranger Register in which they will be asked to approve a change to the USARA Bylaws that will allow electronic online voting.  If approved, those who have e-mail addresses registered on the USARA website will have the opportunity to vote electronically by e-mail.  For those not having a valid e-mail email address, elections materials will be mailed to you.

It is the responsibility of each Association member to insure that his contact information is up to date, and that his Association dues are current.

This year’s election includes:

• Executive Vice President
• Vice President Personnel
• Secretary
• Mid-Atlantic Region Director
• Southeast Region Director
• Southwest Regional Director

The Association is looking for those potential candidates who are interested in furthering the goals and objectives of the Association.  The criteria to be a candidate for office are:

• A Regular Member of the Association in good standing (dues current).
• Have the time and desire to be fully involved.
• Be computer literate since the majority of Association business is conducted through our website and/or by e-mail.

If you are interested in running for one of the positions or, or just have questions about the election process, please contact me, or your Region’s member of the National Election Committee noted below, or your  Region Director.
