Council & Committee Positions

This Fall, ACA members will participate in the 2025 annual election. Ballots will include positions for Vice President, Committee Members, and SIG Officers, with terms beginning January 1, 2026. Details on the voting process will be shared by email, and all announcements, updates, and final results will be posted on the ACA website.

As we head into election season, now is a great time to log in to your ACA member profile and make sure your information is up to date. In particular, please check that you are listed as a member of any Scientific Interest Groups (SIGs) you’d like to vote in—only members of a SIG are eligible to vote in its officer elections. Keeping your profile current not only ensures you receive the appropriate ballots, but also helps us better understand and serve our membership. Additionally by completing your demographic information and sharing your location in your profile, you contribute valuable data that supports our efforts to track trends, promote diversity, and plan for future events.
