- Eastern Region, full three-year term
- Southern Region, full three-year term
- Western Region, full three-year term

At-Large Director Jan Roche (President and CEO of State Department Federal Credit Union, Alexandria, Va.) is term-limited and is not eligible for re-election. At-Large Director Lisa Schlehuber (CEO of Elements Financial Federal Credit Union, Indianapolis, Ind.) will retire from her credit union in April and is not eligible for re-election, leaving her seat open for a two-year term.

There are two ways to be nominated to run for any of the six open NAFCU Board seats:
