Nominations are now open for the position of National Delegate for the National Sporting Clays Association for the 2027-2028 term.
Nomination forms must be received by July 21 at midnight CT.
The number of National Delegates from each state is determined by the number of members in that state as of December 31, 2025. You can view the number of positions allocated to each state on the nomination form. The new Delegates will take office on January 1, 2027, and serve through December 31, 2028.
Any candidate must have the endorsement of five current, paid members of NSCA from the state he or she would represent. The nominee and the five endorsers must sign the nomination form and provide their member numbers.
Only fully-paid, current NSCA members in good standing qualify to run for National Delegate or endorse a candidate; Complimentary Limited Members (CLMs) or Crossfire members (NSSA members registering NSCA targets) are not eligible.
Current National Delegates may run for the office again, but they are not automatically placed on the ballot. The nomination and election procedure is the same as for other candidates.
Following the election of National Delegates, a 15-member Executive Council will be chosen. Three National Delegates from each of the five NSCA regions will be elected to the Executive Council. Remember, Executive Council members must first be elected as National Delegates.

National Delegates serve an important role in the governance of our organization, and we hope you will consider serving the association and your fellow members in this capacity or nominating another qualified individual. We want every state to have the full voting power to which it is entitled. Each member in every state should share the responsibility of nominating enough potential National Delegates to fill all of the allotted slots, as well as urge all other members in your state to cast a vote in the election.
