The U.S. dressage Federation (USDF) Board of Governors elected its 2026 Executive Board during the annual convention held in Lexington, Kentucky. Key positions filled included vice president, secretary, and regional directors for odd-numbered regions (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9). Most candidates, including current Secretary Debra Reinhardt (vice president nominee), Carol Tice (secretary nominee), and incumbents from Regions 1, 5, 7, and 9, were elected by acclimation as they ran unopposed.

The only contested race was for Region 3, covering Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee, where Caren Caverly won against Stephany Fish Crossman and Lisa El-Ramy, succeeding outgoing director Charlotte Trentelman. The USDF nominating committee oversees the election process, with further details available on the USDF website.
