At-Large Representative Candidates
NFDA will announce the candidates for the two open at-large representative seats on the Board of Directors on or before March 15. The at-large representatives who are elected will serve two-year terms that begin following the 2024 NFDA Convention.
During the 2024 NFDA Leadership Conference, taking place July 29 through August 1 in Ponte Vedra, Florida, state association representatives will elect two at-large representatives. State association representatives are the voting representatives from each state who cast the votes on behalf of their state for the at-large representatives on the NFDA Board of Directors.
