The IIUG is electing a new Board of Directors. Hopefully, you saw the announcement in the most recent Insider or on the IIUG website.
While the IIUG Board is a voluntary entity, it would be advisable for you to understand what is expected of you if you are elected.
The IIUG Board meets three times a year. Three meetings are held over a weekend and may require traveling. All meetings are mandatory. If travel is required, airfare, hotel and dining are covered for all meetings. In addition, IIUG conference fees are waived for Board members.
The IIUG Board holds a monthly call. Because we are an international group residing in different time zones the call is set to 12 PM US Eastern. This call is mandatory.
In order to expedite communication, board members are requested to reply within a week to e-mail messages addressed directly to them or on the Board email. All board discussions are to be kept in confidence unless the Board decides otherwise, including e-mails.
Bear in mind, serving on the IIUG Board requires more than just a monthly call and three board meetings. Board members are required to invest a considerable amount of time carrying out various board tasks.
Work for the IIUG Board takes priority over your regular work and private life. Make sure this is known and supported by your employer and family.
You can find more about IIUG Board duties by reading the IIUG Board Guidelines. Read it carefully before you submit your nomination.
If you have never served on the IIUG Board, you will be requested to complete a questionnaire to provide information on why you would make a good candidate. Please complete this questionnaire as part of your nomination.
Finally, you should also review the IIUG Bylaws.
If you are interested in joining the IIUG Board of Directors, submit the required documentation to John Fahey no later than midnight EST Monday, November 4, 2024.
John Fahey
Election Commissioner
IMPORTANT:The election will only be held if there are more nominations than there are Board seats.
