Nomination for Board Directors
IASSIDD is seeking nominations from motivated members who support the mission and values of the Association, to join the Board of Directors from 1 January 2024 for up to a three-year term.
The Board is responsible for the strategic direction, governance and oversight of IASSIDD’s operations. The Board membership consists of the President and up to nine other Directors who fill strategic portfolio positions appointed by the Board.
Appointment of the President
The President-Elect was elected in 2020 by a resolution passed at the IASSIDD Council and the position of President is therefore not for election in this election cycle.
Nomination
Individuals who meet the criteria to serve as Directors as outlined in the IASSIDD Bylaws may be nominated. The criteria are outlined in Article VII, Section 1. See the link below for access to the updated bylaws.
