2021 NAFRA Chapter and National Elections
The OFS-USA National Fraternity Council has agreed that we need to meet virtually for the 2021 NAFRA Chapter, scheduled for October 26-31, 2021. Given the decision to hold the Chapter virtually, National Elections needed to be rescheduled.
The National Fraternity Council met virtually on Sunday, Aug. 22 to discuss when the National Elections should be held. Several choices were considered, including spring or summer of 2022. During the discussion the NAFRA members asked the National Executive Council (NEC) if they would be willing to serve until October of 2022. All NEC members agreed to continue to serve, if that was the will of the body.
A vote was taken, and our National Elections will now take place in October of 22 during our annual NAFRA Chapter, scheduled for Tuesday, October 11 – Sunday, October 16, 2022, in Detroit, MI. Nominees currently on the slate will be notified of this decision.
Nominations will reopen in the spring of 2022. In addition, all those nominated for 2021 will again be contacted as part of the usual nominations process.
