Want to have a say in how we run CLDA? Here’s your opportunity to help shape the future of the association and the industry we represent.
CLDA is now accepting nominations for its 2027 Board of Directors, and we’re looking for members who want to take an active role in moving our association forward.
Our Board helps set CLDA’s strategic direction, guides our advocacy efforts, and ensures we’re delivering value to members through education, networking, and opportunities to grow their businesses. Serving on the Board is also an opportunity to build relationships with fellow industry leaders and make a lasting impact on the profession.
Five Board seats are up for election in 2027, including one seat that may be filled by a Shipper or Affiliate Member. The remaining seats are reserved for Carrier Members. Each elected director serves a two-year term.
Being a CLDA Board member is a rewarding experience, but it’s also a serious volunteer commitment. We want prospective candidates to understand what’s expected before submitting a nomination.
Board members are expected to contribute both their time and financial resources to supporting the association. This includes:
This isn’t simply an honorary position. Our Board members are working leaders who help guide the association and are invested in its success.
We encourage anyone considering a nomination to review the CLDA Board Member Expectations before applying.
Members may nominate themselves or a colleague, provided they meet the eligibility requirements. All candidates must represent a CLDA member company in good standing and must renew their membership for 2027 before the election.
Nominations must be submitted by December 2, 2026.
The nomination process includes a brief biography, headshot, and short candidate video. Full eligibility requirements, submission instructions, and election details are available on the nomination form.
Voting will take place January 5–21, 2027. Newly elected Board members will be expected to attend the February 9, 2027 Board meeting in Orlando, immediately ahead of Final Mile Forum 2027.

Interested in getting more involved but not quite ready for a Board position? Joining a CLDA committee is a great place to start.
Our committees do much of the hands-on work that keeps the association moving forward. Whether your interests are in membership, education, marketing, government affairs, or the Final Mile Forum, there’s an opportunity to contribute your experience and help shape CLDA’s programs.
Committee service is also a good way to learn how the association operates, build relationships with fellow members, and see whether Board service might be right for you down the road.
Committees are working groups, not honorary appointments, so members are expected to participate and follow through on their responsibilities. Most meet once a month for approximately 60–90 minutes, with some additional work between meetings. Plan on committing roughly 4–5 hours per month.
It’s a meaningful commitment, but one that is generally more manageable and doesn’t carry the same travel and financial responsibilities as Board service.
Not ready to run for the Board? Start with a committee. Complete our brief committee interest form to let us know where you’d like to contribute. We’ll help you find an opportunity that matches your interests and experience.
