Group Description
The DC Triathlon Club is electing it’s 2026-2027 Board of Directors. We are seeking motivated candidates for the 2026-2027 Board of Directors to join the current Board members serving out the remainder of their two-year term. We encourage all interested candidates to nominate themselves for Board membership. The nominating period is open from October 1- October 31. Following the nomination period, all candidates will be placed on a ballot that will be open for voting from November 1-November 15.
The guidelines for Club members who would like to run for a Board position:
- You must be a paid member for the 12-month period prior to elections, or receive a unanimous vote from the current Board, to be eligible to run (please don’t let this be a deterrent — contact us at [email protected]!).
The term is a two year commitment (January 2026-December 2027) to the Board.
The board meets once per month (2nd Monday of the month) and attendance or calling in is mandatory.
The board typically holds a weekend retreat once a year.
You should expect to commit 2-5 hours per week for Club duties.
Descriptions for the five vacancies on the board that we are looking to fill are below:

- Director of Volunteers: Click here to see the full position description
- Director of Partnerships: Click here to see the full position description
- Director of Gear: Click here to see the full position description
- Director of Event Operations (*new* in 2026): Click here for our full position description
There are three additional non-board positions that we are looking to fill for 2026. These are ‘co-leads’ to support the Director roles:
- Club Racing Co-Lead: Click here for full position description
- Two Communications Co-Leads: Click here for full position description
NOTES:
– Keep in mind that all of these positions work in tandem with the rest of the Club’s Board of Directors and also work with volunteers to make them happen. So the phrase “in charge of” could be more administrative and planning related as opposed to boots on the ground direct activity.
– These descriptions are meant to give you a sense of what the role could look like — not a rigid checklist! Don’t worry if you don’t have all the skills or can only help with part of the role. If you’re even a little bit interested, we’d love to chat and see how we can make it work together!
We will be hosting a ‘Meet The Board’ Event on Saturday, October 18 which is a great way to learn more about these open roles!
If you would like to nominate yourself, please post in this group and let us know why you are a good candidate (e.g., what you have done for the Club, relevant experience that will help to make you an effective Board member, and what you would like to see happen in 2026). You must post by 11:59 pm on Friday, October 31 if you would like to be considered. Responses to this thread should only be to announce yourself as a candidate. Please send any questions to [email protected].
Elections will be held via electronic ballot from Saturday, November 1 through Saturday, November 15. The new Board members will be notified on the following weekend and will be announced at our annual meeting on December 7.
