2027 USA Archery JOAD Advisory Council Nomination Form Survey

Nomination due by November 1, 2026

JOAD Advisory Council makes recommendations regarding the Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) program and event administration to the USA Archery staff. Regional Representatives also serve as Regional Coordinators for the program. The Regional Representatives are elected by Club Leaders in the respective regions, while Athlete Representatives are selected by the Athletes’ and Para Athletes’ Advisory Councils.

Minimum Requirements:

· JOAD Advisory Council members must have a current USA Archery membership in good standing, a current USA Archery Background Screening, and a current U.S. Center for SafeSport Training

· Athlete Representatives must meet the definition of an Eligible Athlete, Eligible Para Athlete or Actively Engaged Athlete as defined in Section 9.4 of the USA Archery Bylaws.

Term Length: 2 Years
Maximum Consecutive Terms: 3 Terms

If an advisory council member serves any number of two-year terms as the athlete representative, their maximum term limit will not start over if they are consecutively elected to serve as a regional representative. The same will apply to a regional representative who moves to a new region. For example, an archer serving one, two-year term as an athlete representative, they may then serve only two, two-year terms as a regional representative.
