Running for Office — 2026–27<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the 2026–27 season, any individual who wishes to run for a position (President, Vice President, Secretary, Public Relations, JH Representative, Queen, and JH Princess) must attend a minimum of 5 rodeos<\/strong> during the qualifying season in order to be eligible to run. This ensures that candidates are actually involved, committed, and familiar with the association they want to represent. It is very important that the contestants representing our state show commitment and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, once a contestant is elected, they would be required to attend 50% of the rodeos<\/strong> during their term. If this requirement is not met, without reasonable circumstances, they would not be allowed to run for office or compete for titles in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The members we have on our board not only represent our state, but the association as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
