Nominations open for 2026-2027 board of directors
Nominations, including self nominations, for the two-year PCA Milwaukee region board positions starting Jan. 1, 2026, and ending Dec. 31, 2027, are being accepted. This year, five of the eight members' term will expire. One of these positions is past president which will be filled by current president Dirk Stallmann. This means that we must elect four members to the board. Nominations will close Oct. 24. Note that current board members whose terms have expired can run for positions via self-nomination as long as they have not exceeded the term limits outlined in the region's Bylaws.
As a result of last year’s updated by-laws, candidates must choose to run for a general directorship position or a specific open office position. For this election there are two open office positions: President and Vice President. Therefore there are two directorship positions available.
When submitting a nomination, the nominee should indicate which position he or she is seeking.
Candidates must be active or family-active region members in good standing. Candidates must submit a statement listing their history with the club including involvement in region activities. Additionally they should list any service for region, zone or committees. If running for a specific office, any outside experience pertinent to that office should also be included in the statement. Statements should not exceed 200 words and must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. Candidates must secure the endorsement of three region members in good standing and note those names when submitting their statement. A photo of the candidate (head and shoulders) in a .jpg format should be included in the submittal. Email the statement and photo to Roger Franzel (rpfranzel@mac.com) and Jeff McCarthy (JeffMcCarthy@55gmail.com) by Oct. 24.
Nick Brannen, Arvind Mahatme, and Jim DelBalso will be serving the second year of their term in 2026. Roger Franzel, Tom Ingrassia, Wendy Sky and Dirk Stallmann will conclude their terms at the end of December. Jeff Chang will also be ending his term as vice president at the end of December and will be running for re-election.
