Each position serves a one-year term which begins on July 1, 2023. A position on the Board provides a unique opportunity to assist in the development of social and cultural programs for UCRRA members as well as the following:

The UCRRA Board Elections will take place during our Spring Luncheon & Business meeting on Friday May 19, 2023. The election will be conducted by voice vote unless we have more than one candidate for a position. In this case, we will elect those positions by an on-line secret ballot process prior to the spring meeting. More information will be sent to all UCRRA members.
