Elections to be held for USA Wrestling Standing Committees Positions - Application deadline is July 25

Elections will be held at the next USA Wrestling Board of Directors meeting to fill positions on several Standing Committees of USA Wrestling. Positions are available on the following committees: Finance, Audit, and Ethics. A two-year commitment is required as terms for these positions begin at the conclusion of the Board meeting and proceed for two years, until the conclusion of the 2019 Board of Directors meeting. Most committee work is done by mail and telephone conference call. All committees are active and hard working.


Any member with a current USA Wrestling membership card is eligible to serve on the standing committees for which elections will be held, subject to certain restrictions for seats that must be held by members of the Board of Directors. Any current member may also nominate another USA Wrestling member for the unrestricted positions. Prospective candidates may nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else. A nomination form is printed on this page. Candidates will be notified by the Governance Committee to determine if they wish to serve (if nominated by someone else) or to confirm receipt of the nomination if they nominate themselves.


To become a candidate for these positions:


1. Completely fill out the nomination form below. You must be a current 2017 USA Wrestling member and must provide your card number in the space provided. If you are not a member, contact your state chairperson or www.themat.com for a card.


2. Send the nomination form (and any material reinforcing your candidate's qualifications) to the address below for receipt no later than July 25, 2017. Once current membership is verified, the candidate will be contacted in confirmation of receipt of the nomination and to verify willingness to serve.


3. All verified nominations will be presented to the USA Wrestling Board of Directors at their next meeting. The election will be held at that time with the vote conducted by the USA Wrestling Board of Directors.


4. Any individual holding a membership card for the membership year September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017 may nominate themselves or others with a current membership card.
