NRC Chairman Joe Daloisio was automatically re-elected to a new term due to his position on the NRC Executive Committee and its planned line of succession.

Last October, the NRC Board named Jerry Hegstrom, Director Commercial Development- Rail Services, with Northern Plains Rail Companies, to its Board of Directors. Mr. Hegstrom took the board seat recently vacated by a prior board member. His term extends through 2026.
