Executive Council Elections

Tri Sigma Executive Council elections are held each triennium and take place the same year as Convention. All elected Executive Council members serve a 3-year term and guide the strategic vision of the organization.

Executive Council Applications

Executive Council members serve as the leaders accountable for the strategic vision of the organization and ensure operations are consistent with the mission and values of Sigma Sigma Sigma. They are charged with having critical conversations and making the difficult decisions needed to position the organization for a long, successful future.

​

General applications to serve on the 2025-28 Executive Council are now closed and elections will proceed for these positions as scheduled. Unfortunately, the nominating committee was unable to identify qualified applicants for the role of National Treasurer.

​

After consulting with a third-party parliamentarian, a second election for the National Treasurer position will occur after an additional application period. Questions on the Executive Council elections process may be submitted here—or review the FAQ below.
