Pacific District 2026 Board Nominations Application
Now Open!
Deadline to apply is November 30, 2025.
Help ensure that our district continues to have the leadership it needs by submitting your application now! We encourage all interested members to consider "joining the circle" by completing a leadership application. Links to the self-nominating form and required endorsement form are below. If you would like to reach out to current or past District and WRJ leaders to learn more about their experiences, please feel free to email Pacific District Nominations Chair Cher Krichmar, at [email protected].
One of the most important functions of the District Convention is the election and installation of officers and area directors who serve as a vital link between WRJ and our local women's groups and individual members. The Pacific District has developed capable and strong leaders that have served our district over the years and many have advanced their involvement with WRJ through board and committee roles. The leaders we elect directly impact their communities, where we work to strengthen our Reform Movement.
Elected offices and positions for which applications will be accepted include: President, 1st Vice President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, 8 Vice Presidents** (3 Area VPs, Engagement, Marketing & Communications, Philanthropy, Social Justice, and Spirituality, to be assigned by the incoming President), and Area Directors. The offices of the President and 1st Vice President may each be filled by two persons.
** Please note: An amendment to the WRJ Pacific District Bylaws increasing the number of Vice Presidents will be voted on either prior to or at the WRJ Pacific District 2026 Convention. If the amendment does not pass, the position of Spirituality Vice President will be an appointed chair position.
