REENACTMENT GUILD OF AMERICA
MISSION STATEMENT

An organization of Historians, Educators, Entertainers and Reenactors dedicated to the preservation of and education regarding the History of America's 19th Century, primarily but not restricted to the American Old West.

Greetings, RGA members … our thanks to those who submitted nominations for RGA national and/or state positions.

 Results of the NOMINATIONS:

  1. Most of the open positions had only one nomination so those positions are filled by that nominee by default.

  2. Regarding positions that had two or more nominations, those candidates were called to see if they would accept the nomination.

In all of these cases, only one nominee accepted in each of those positions, so they are also filled by that nominee by default.

  1. Several of the state positions had no nominations. The RGA Board will meet soon to decide how to handle these open positions, and

will appoint affiliate states (less than 10 members at end of 2023, so not listed below) to qualified states.

Therefore, there is no November ballot for either national or state officers. Installation of the officers for 2025-2027 will take place January 1, 2025.

The following shows the current status of the offices:
