Voting for the 2026 RV Industry Association (RVIA) Board of Directors election closed last week and the final results are in. Official representatives from member companies cast their votes during the September balloting for the four open seats announced in August. From that pool, the successful candidates for two RV manufacturer seats and two supplier seats have been elected.
The newly elected and returning members of the RVIA Board of Directors, who will start a three-year term on Jan. 1, 2026, are:
- RV Manufacturer: Ryan Elias, President and General Manager of Triple E Recreational Vehicles/Leisure Travel Vans
- RV Manufacturer: Brett Randall, President, CEO, and majority owner of Columbia Northwest, Inc., dba Aliner.
- RV Supplier: Brent Diver, Partner and Chief Revenue Officer for Ranger Distribution Inc.
- RV Supplier: Mike Hesse, CEO and owner of Blue Ox
The board of directors is the highest level of authority in the association’s organizational structure and is responsible for setting and overseeing strategy and policy related to critical topics such as standards, marketing, government affairs, events, industry education and association finances. The new 2026 board will hold an organizational meeting to elect officers for the next year following the board of directors meeting taking place during the RV Dealers Association Convention in November.
