AHVAP Announces 2026 Board of Directors Election Results
Dear AHVAP Members,
I am pleased to announce the results of our 2026 Board of Directors Elections. Jodi Katz has been elected to the position of President-Elect. As such, Jodi will resign from her current position of Director-at-Large effective December 31, 2025. Sharon Roberts has been re-elected to the position of Treasurer. Amanda Conner has been elected to the position of Director-at-Large. Jasmine Jarrett has been appointed to fill the vacant position of Director-At-Large vacated by Jodi Katz and her term will expire December 31, 2026. Finally, Dan Toomey has been reappointed to the position of Industry Liaison for an additional two-year term by the incoming 2026 AHVAP Board of Directors President, Anne Marie Orlando. The new board members will begin their terms on January 1, 2026. This year’s election was a pivotal year with record-breaking ballots submitted and multiple immensely qualified candidates volunteering to run for the open Board of Directors positions.
As AHVAP continues our journey to excellence, I am excited that our new board of directors brings exciting perspectives, diverse expertise, and strategic leadership to guide the organization toward success. Your new AHVAP board is poised to continue to bring valuable insights, skills, and vision to drive the AHVAP forward, inspire stakeholders, and achieve strategic goals. Their collective experience and commitment to excellence are sure to enhance governance, decision-making, and overall performance. Please join me in celebrating this exciting opportunity for the AHVAP to thrive and reach new heights.
Thank you for being a part of selecting our 2026 AHVAP Board of Directors! We will introduce the new 2026 Board of Directors at the Awards Presentation at the upcoming 2025 AHVAP Annual Conference and Industry Partner Expo in Grapevine, Texas next month.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the 11 applicants that participated in the nominations process for their willingness to serve. This is a tremendous testament to their professional leadership and commitment to advancing our specialty.
