2021 ABM & Athlete elections
The 2021 Annual Business Meeting will be USA Swimming's first-ever iteration of the hybrid event. Most attendees will be participating virtually, including most athlete occurrences. A significant feature of this event will be the 2021 Athlete Election cycle.
Two elected opportunities will be available: Zone Junior Rep positions, and Athletes' Executive Committee At-Large positions. Junior Reps will serve a 1-YR term ending in September of 2022, while AEC Reps will serve a 2-YR term ending in September of 2023. Please note that there are varying eligibility requirements for both of these positions. Those interested in running must declare their candidacy by 11:59PM ET on Sunday, August 29 through the form posted on the AEC website linked below. You may not serve simultaneously as a Zone Rep and AEC member; if you declare candidacy for both and are elected as a Zone Rep, your AEC candidacy will be withdrawn.
As a reminder, per USA Swimming Corporate Bylaw 6.3.3.D, any campaigning is strictly prohibited and will be swiftly addressed. If you believe you may have a concern about campaigning, please immediately contact Ryan Gibbons and admin@usasathletes.org.
