On April 20, 2024, the Pittsburgh Bahá'í community elected the Bahá'í Spiritual Assembly of Pittsburgh for the 2024-2025 year (Bahá'í year 181).
Each year, the Baha'i community elects local and national councils, known as Spiritual Assemblies. All Baha'is 18 and older are eligible to vote in administrative elections, and those 21 and older are eligible to serve on elected institutions. Diverse membership, non-partisan elections, and collective decision-making are basic features of the Baha'i model of leadership. In place of clergy or priesthood, these local assemblies ensure community members feel cared for and connected to one another.
