Regional Council

International ACAC Regional Council

Join the Regional Council

Application and election information can be found at the website below.

In March 2025, the International ACAC membership approved the establishment of a Regional Council composed of eight Regional Representatives, marking an exciting step toward deepening member engagement and strengthening our global network.

Creating the Regional Council accomplishes two goals: to bring deliberate regional representation to the leadership structure of the Association and to widen member participation in leadership roles, by removing the need for voting membership for members to run or vote for these positions.

2025-2026 Regional Council

The inaugural Regional Council Election was conducted in September and October 2025. Read more about the election.

Applications for Region 2 and Region 8 Representative positions will open on December 10, 2025. The election for slated candidates will take place in March of 2026.
