Thank you for visiting the official page for our 2026 Board Elections. Here, you'll find everything you need to stay informed and engaged—from candidate bios and important dates to nomination forms and committee updates.

This year, we’re inviting all members to help chart the next chapter of Navy Yacht Club Long Beach. Whether you're running for a position, supporting a fellow member, or volunteering behind the scenes, your voice matters.

Want to help choose the next leadership team? Step up and join the Nominating Committee! It’s a rewarding way to shape our club’s future, learn how governance works, and collaborate with fellow members. We’re currently recruiting three volunteers to serve alongside our Junior Staff Commodore and Commodore. Interested? Email NomCom@NYCLB.org by July 27 to throw your hat in the ring.

Let’s move forward together—with purpose, perspective, and camaraderie.
