Nominate a Regional Representative 

 

Nominations are open for Regional Representatives from the Northeast and West to the Advisory Council. To nominate a member to serve as a regional representative please see below. Nominations are due Friday, June 14.

​

Submit a Nomination

Any current members may submit a nomination for regional representatives for the NCJA Advisory Council. Nominees must be current individual members or receive benefits from their organization’s tribal, criminal justice planning board or state and local agency membership. Please note: staff of a state administering agency members are not eligible to serve as a regional representative unless they maintain their own individual membership.

 

Nominations may be submitted online or by email.

 

Nominations should be accompanied by a short biographical sketch of the nominee to include the nominee's present position, responsibilities, background and education; multiple nominations may be submitted and members may nominate themselves.

​

After nominations are solicited from the membership-at-large, eligible members will vote by secret ballot. Ballots will be sent to members by email and elections will be held online. The top three vote-getters from each region will serve as regional representatives with the fourth highest vote-getter serving as an alternate.

​

For questions, please contact Bethany Broida.

Regional Rep Role and Responsibilities

Regional representatives bring added diversity to the NCJA leadership as the voice of practitioners in the field. As part of the Advisory Council, regional representatives help the NCJA Board of Directors formulate and guide the policy and direction of the association. The Advisory Council also selects board members and NCJA officers from the Council membership each year. View Statement of Responsibility.

​

Regional representatives are elected for a two-year term and may serve consecutive terms. Each region will elect a minimum of three representatives; a fourth representative may be elected from the tribal government members in each region. The four regions - West, Midwest, South and Northeast (see below).

​

The Advisory Council meets twice a year. One meeting may be held in conjunction with the Forum on Criminal Justice. Additional meetings may be held online or by telephone. Because the perspective of practitioners is important, regional representatives are expected to attend these meetings.
