Elections for 2026 & 2027
What You Should Know About the 2025 Ballot
   AGS elections occur every year…different positions are on the ballot for each 2-year term. These are all non-paid, volunteer positions and we are fortunate to have AGS members to step-up and serve for all of you and support the chapters too.
    The configuration of AGS leadership changed last year when membership voted to approve “Regional” leadership, which added two additional positions. Some positions were not filled until after the elections, but we continued to seek volunteers. The president was able to appoint volunteers to fill the vacancies for one of the two years of those terms.     
​    Additionally, there were a couple of positions that opened up after the 2024 election and again they were filled by appointments. All appointments have been included on the ballot for the 2025 election to complete the second year of those positions.
            How to Vote:
  • Voting starts October 1st 
  • Ballots must be received no later than November 30, 2025.
