This Fall the USBF will conduct an election to fill 2 seats on its Board of Directors. The seats are for a three-year term commencing January 1, 2017. 

USBF Board members must be currently active USBF members, having paid the  2016 annual active or resident member dues of $50.

This year we sought nominations through Bridge Winners and the USBF Nominating Committee has met and interviewed potential Board candidates. The Nominating Committee slate will be posted shortly.

In addition to those candidates nominated by the nominating committee, candidates may be nominated by petition. Twenty-five or more Active or Resident Members of USBF may nominate an Active or Resident Member for a Board position.

If there are no petition candidates, the candidates nominated by the Nominating Committee will either be elected without the need for an election (if there are only two nominees), or will be the entire slate of nominees for the election.
