Being an odd year in 2025, the Executive Offices of President, Secretary, Treasurer and Board positions for the Central and Pacific regions are up for election. Below are the requirements to run for office according to the BARNSC Constitution.
We hope you will consider stepping up on behalf of our amazing American rabbit to help the club continue its mission to bring back its place as a dependable heritage breed.
Article V – Officers Section 3: In order to be eligible for office a member must be actively engaged in the breeding of American Rabbits, be a member of The American Rabbit Breeders Association, and must have been a member in good standing of this club for at least one (1) year continuously prior to becoming a candidate for office.

All founding members who meet all requirements other than length of membership shall be allowed to run for office. Any one (1) member may not hold more than one (1) position on the BARNSC Board of Directors at the same time.
