SRA BOARD NOMINEE SUGGESTIONS

The SRA is seeking suggestions for nominations of members to serve as President, Vice President, and Board of Directors for the 2027–2028 term. Nominees must be current members in good standing and must not have been fined or suspended during the three-year period immediately preceding nomination.

Members of the Board of Directors serve a two-year term and are expected to participate in conference calls, text and email communications, meetings held during the SFR, and any additional meetings deemed necessary to conduct the business of the association. In appreciation of their service, Board members will receive a complimentary membership for the following rodeo season upon completion of each year of service.

Your input is important and will assist the current Board in preparing a ballot of candidates to be presented to the full membership for a vote at the SFR in February. If you would like to be considered as a nominee or would like to recommend another member, please submit:

  • Name of the nominee
  • A brief summary explaining why you or the person you are recommending would make a good candidate

All suggestions must be received by Monday, October 19, 2026. Nominations may be submitted by:
