The USPA Board of Directors is seeking a USPA member from the Southeastern Region to fill a vacancy on the board created by the resignation of Brandon Radcliff. Currently, National Director Jeannie Bartholomew is acting as Interim Southeast Regional Director. Section 1-4 of the USPA Governance Manual spells out the duties of a USPA Regional Director.

USPA members in good standing who currently reside in the Southeastern Region—composed of Georgia and most of Florida—are eligible for the position. USPA will accept applications to be on the ballot March 16 through April 15. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age, be a current USPA member, have at least two years of cumulative USPA membership and be a U.S. citizen or resident. To be placed on the ballot, candidates must submit the required election materials and pay the $50 filing fee to USPA Headquarters at uspa.org/election no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, April 15, 2026. The following, which must be submitted online together, are required:

• Completed Director Candidate Biography form
• An acceptable photograph
• A non-refundable $50 filing fee
• Documentation of citizenship or residency

The special election period will run for two weeks, from June 15 to June 30, 2026, at 5 p.m. Eastern. The elected member will fill the remainder of the term, which extends through 2027. The election winner is expected to attend the USPA Board of Directors Meeting set for August in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
