The election of NACADA leadership positions for terms beginning in October 2002 began in January when ballots were mailed to all NACADA members. The positions for which candidates were seeking election included Board of Directors members, Regional Chairs, and Commission Chairs. The election process for these positions concluded in mid-February after all valid votes were tallied.

The election of the NACADA Division Representative to the Council positions was held in April for terms beginning in October 2002. The three positions involved in this special election include the Administrative Division Representative, the Regional Division Representative, and the Commission & Interest Group Division Representative. Only those individuals serving as Chairs of the sub-units within each of these divisions were eligible to vote for their respective Division Representative. The elected Division Representatives direct and lead the sub-units of their Division and are supported by an appointed Division Representative who serves a staggered term (overlapping vs. concurrent). Both Division Representatives for each division will serve on the NACADA Council in the new organizational structure, which becomes effective immediately following the national conference in Salt Lake City, UT this fall.
