Hello Seniors,

Membership Data Update Request

We hope you all saw the recent MEMBERSHIP DATA UPDATE REQUEST email from the USA Dance Nominations & Elections Committee.  

Here is some important info from the email.

  • ACTION:  All members are asked to access, review, and update their membership accounts and contact information.
    •  Specifically, if your personal membership account is listed under a group or default email, you will need to establish an individual email with your personal membership account. 
    • This will allow you to receive an election ballot; it will also improve USA Dance communications.
  • TIME:  It will take less than 10 minutes to review and validate your individual accounts to ensure you are eligible to vote in the November 15-24 USA Dance Elections.  
  • DEADLINE: This action must be completed by this Friday, November 1, 2024 to ensure your eligibility to vote in the November 15-24 USA Dance Elections.
  • ASSISTANCE:  For assistance with this process, a series of “how-to” screen captures is provided in American Dancer.  Click Here:   American Dancer Election Assistance 
  •   Just scroll down until you see “How to update your membership data to vote in the USA Dance 2024 National Election”
  • PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!  Please ensure your accounts are up-to-date and help spread the word.
 
 

California is the place you want to be! 

  • Regular Registration:  Through November 20, 2024
  • Late Registration:  Through November 29, 2024

Rulebook Input Requested

For some time, the Senior Committee has requested a standard release date for the dancesport rulebook; preferably within a couple of weeks after the National Championships. The Ballroom Committee has decided to move in this direction. Therefore, we need your input earlier than usual.   
 
Please offer any suggestions for rule changes. We will organize your feedback and possibly conduct a more formal survey at a later date. 
 
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thank you!
