Nominations for the WJTA Board of Directors are open. The duties of the directors are truly challenging and rewarding. WJTA members are encouraged to get involved in the election process, nominate fellow members for a seat on the board and VOTE!
Nominations are sought for six (6) board members, each to serve a four-year term of office beginning Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
The terms of office of David Beckum, Augusta Industrial Services Inc., Jerry Carter, SPIR STAR, Dee Green, USA DeBusk, Bill Krupowicz, Jetstream of Houston LLP, Jimmy Peck, MPW Industrial Services, and Bill Shaw will expire on November 5, 2025.
The WJTA bylaws provide that no more than one of the elected board members may be from the same company or organization. Therefore, board members may not be nominated from the same company or organization already represented on the board by individuals whose terms expire in 2027, including Covestro LLC (Bradley Coble), Dow Chemical (Hans Borgt), DuPont Specialty Products (Jim Ashmead), Kuraray EVAL (Richard Bass), NLB Corporation (Drew Waltenbaugh), and StoneAge, Inc. (Kerry Siggins).
According to the WJTA bylaws, any WJTA member in good standing (2025 membership dues paid) may submit a nomination(s). A nominee who has not paid her/his 2025 membership dues by April 30, 2025, shall be declared ineligible to run for office in the 2025 election. The deadline for making nominations is April 30, 2025. Your nomination(s) should reach the WJTA office no later than April 30, 2025.
Please note that a recent revision to the WJTA bylaws makes ineligible for nomination any individual who has served four (4) or more terms on the WJTA Board of Directors.
