PNLA is looking for interested persons to fill two upcoming elected positions, President Elect and Secretary-Treasurer.

Elections for these positions are scheduled for May 2025, both officers will begin their terms in August 2025.  

Each position is vital to PNLA. The VP-President Elect is a three-year term. Due to the resignation of our previous VP-President Elect, this officer will move into the President’s office in August. This officer will hold the President’s position for one year and the following year be Past President for PNLA.

The Secretary-Treasurer position is a two-year term, August 2025-August 2027.

Both positions are not extremely time-consuming. If you know of someone who would be interested in serving or if you would like to serve yourself, please contact Debbi Kramer, PNLA Executive Director at debkramerpnla@gmail.com 

These elected positions are an excellent way to get leadership experience. Remember PNLA doesn’t have to deal with legislative issues as state and provincial organizations do and as Executive Director, Debbi will be with you every step of the way to assist you in any way possible and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. 

The PNLA Virtual Conference will be held August 7-9, 2025.
