On behalf of the ACUHO-I Executive Board and the Nominations Committee, we are pleased to share the slate of candidates for the 2026 Executive Board election. Candidate materials and information about the nominations and elections process can be reviewed online. Voting will be open from July 29 to August 12. Each member institution shall receive one vote, and the SHO of those colleges/universities will receive the ballot on July 29, 2025.
Each of the slated individuals has demonstrated strong leadership, deep commitment to the campus housing profession, and alignment with the mission and values of ACUHO-I. We are grateful to them for stepping forward in service to our association.
However, we want to inform you that there were no candidates for the Inclusion and Equity Director position this year. Despite a robust recruitment process and outreach efforts, we did not receive any applications for this critical role. This is the first time in recent memory that a position has gone unfilled at this stage of the election process. We remain firmly committed to the principles of inclusion, equity, and belonging, and recognize the importance of ensuring this work is embedded and represented in our leadership.
We will keep the membership informed as these discussions unfold and welcome your feedback as we determine the best path forward. It is our goal to complete the initial process and update the membership by the end of August.
Thank you for your continued support of ACUHO-I and your active participation in this important election process.
With appreciation,
Gay Perez
Immediate Past President
Nominations Committee-Chair
Mary DeNiro
Chief Executive Officer
