Election Results of 2026 CAA General Election

Our annual election of officers and directors was a major success with a new balloting app that worked effectively (a total of 134 votes cast) and the unanimous election of all officers and of 12 directors to serve a 2026 to 2028 tour of duty.  This is still only 6% of our total 2,129 eligible voters, but this is still more than double last year's vote count. Scroll down for the list of elected officers and directors. Click here for the full election results.

Since our director's ballot was the first contested one in ages, anyone who was not selected is encouraged to seek nomination next year or let CAA President Major General (ret) Hugh Van Roosen know if you are interested in a board appointment. We have occasional resignations and other vacancies.

Please join us in congratulations the following officers and directors of the Civil Affairs Association.
