At the close of the nomination period for the 2026 election and by-election of NASA executive board members, each open position received only one nomination. As per the Election of Executive Officers Policy passed by NASA members at the 2024 Fall General Meeting, since each of these candidates is uncontested for their position no vote will be required and these members are declared elected by acclamation. They will assume their respective positions after the NASA Annual General Meeting on June 3.

I would like to thank the members who showed their support of NASA by nominating their co-workers and colleagues to these positions. You can read the biographies of these incoming executive board members.
Your Chief Electoral Officer,
Laura Ortegon-Rico
