| NORTHEAST CAMPUS STORES ASSOCIATION |
The Northeast Campus Stores Association (NCSA) Board of Directors is made up entirely of dedicated volunteers from our membership community. These individuals help shape the direction of our association by contributing their time, insights, expertise, and leadership in support of campus retailers and vendors across the Northeast.
Board terms run from one Annual Business Meeting to the next, with elections taking place each fall in conjunction with our annual conference. The roles of President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary are one-year terms, while Director and Vendor Representative positions are two-year terms. The Executive Committee ensures that Director terms are staggered for continuity.
All members are eligible to vote—and we encourage you to participate! The Nominating Committee works to build a diverse and representative slate of candidates, and any member is welcome to submit their name for the ballot.
📮Next election opens September 26, 2025
Ballots will be emailed 30 days before the Annual Meeting and must be submitted at least 14 days in advance. Watch your inbox for voting instructions and take an active role in shaping the future of NCSA.CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS
