MichCDA Leadership

Leadership positions within MichCDA offer an exciting opportunity to connect with career development professionals and drive the direction of the organization. In a leadership position, you get the chance to plan and attend professional development events, network with current and prospective members, and contribute to the future of the organization. 

Board member elections are held in the Spring of each year. If you are interested in learning more about serving on the Board, please contact info@michcda.org.

2026 Board Nominations are now open until April 15th!

Self-nominations are not only welcome — they are encouraged. Nominations are open to both members and non-members; however, only current members are eligible to vote. 

You may submit multiple nominations by completing a separate form for each nominee. If you nominate someone else, MichCDA will confirm the nominee’s acceptance before placing their name on the ballot.

Interested in committee service? We’re glad to hear it. Simply enter “N/A” for questions that do not apply in the form.

Before submitting a board nomination, please review the MichCDA Board Expectations document. 

Individuals elected to the Board must be a MichCDA member prior to the start of the July 1 term.
