New Board Members Announced at NVAR Annual Meeting

The NVAR Board of Directors consists of 16 volunteer leaders who meet regularly to make decisions about how best to invest member resources to implement the organization’s strategic goals. They work diligently to represent the needs of our members by delivering value through a variety of benefits, programs, products, services and events.

On Oct. 15, the 2021 Board of Directors were announced at the NVAR annual meeting.

Board nominations were accepted beginning in June. The nominating committee, which is appointed each year by the president of the board, selected candidates from the pool of applicants, and candidates were also added to the ballot by way of petition. Voting took place from Sept. 11 – Oct. 12. NVAR Bylaws provide that elected directors serve two-year terms, and the president appoints three members to serve one-year terms.

The board members who will continue their terms through the next year are: Derrick Swaak (2021 president), Reggie Copeland (2021 president-elect), Heather Embrey (2021 secretary/treasurer), Nicholas Lagos (2021 immediate past-president), Amina Basic, Sherry Rahnama, Ken Tully and Dallison Veach.

The five elected directors are: Rob Carney, Shelia Jackson, Casey Menish, Thai-Hung Nguyen and Colleen Wright. The three board members who were appointed by incoming President Derrick Swaak for a one-year term are: Miguel Calvo, Roger Nakazawa and Marriah Unruh.

The 2021 Board of Directors will be installed at the 2020 Appreciation Awards & Installation Ceremony.
