Please note that Chapter Leadership Committee (CLC) applicants must be a current chapter officer or have previously served at least one full term as a chapter officer within the last two years. The applicant does not need to maintain officer status, however, to remain in the CLC position.
Additionally, to be eligible for election to the KBIS Exhibitor Committee, applicants must have been an exhibitor at KBIS 2026 and must commit to exhibit at KBIS 2027.
The application process is very important, as this is what is used to select the applicants. It’s your time to shine and really share the work you’ve done as a volunteer, and what your goals and aspirations include. Make sure to take the time to fill out the submission completely and thoroughly.
Nominations will be open from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30, so be sure to apply!
Applicants will be notified of their status in mid-November.
