Voting for the 2027 RV Industry Association (RVIA) board of directors election closed on Monday, Sept. 14, and the final results are in. Official representatives from member companies cast their votes during the late-August through mid-September balloting for the three open seats announced in July. From that pool, the successful candidates for one RV Manufacturer seat, one Park Model RV Manufacturer seat and one Supplier seat have been elected.
“Please join us in congratulating the returning members of the RV Industry Association’s board of directors,” RVIA said in a recent release. “We are excited to welcome these exceptional industry leaders to a three-year term, set to begin Jan. 1, 2027.”
RV Manufacturer: Ashley Bontrager Lehman
- Founder, president and CEO of Ember Recreational Vehicles
Park Model RV Manufacturer: Trevor Kropf

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 2027 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.
