Director terms are for four years, and Directors, if re-elected, can serve a second term for a maximum of eight years on the Board of Directors.
Directors Bevilacqua, Green, Easton and Foxworth have served the maximum of two terms, and may not run for re-election.

All applications will be sent to the Nominating and Governance (N&G) Committee and will be reviewed by this committee. In the case of the Grassroots, Judge and At Large positions, the N&G Committee will bring forth a qualified slate of candidates for voting on by eligible members. For the Independent Director position the N&G Committee will appoint the Independent Director that they feel will best serve the needs of USA Archery.
Qualifications for the positions:
Grassroots (JOAD Club) Director: The Grassroots Directors will come from nominations made by Registered Clubs of USA Archery who are in good standing. All current registered Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) Clubs in good standing as of 60 days prior to the election date may vote for their respective Grassroots Director.
Judge Director: The Judge Director will come from Judge members of USA Archery who are in good standing. All current USA Archery Judge members (as defined in Section 5.1 of the Bylaws) in good standing and who have selected the "judge" voting category as of 60 days prior to the election may vote for the Judge Director.
At Large Director: The At Large Director will come from members of USA Archery in good standing.
