Call for 2012-13 IGFOA Board Nominations - 2012 NOMINATIONS CLOSED

The Annual Conference of the Illinois Government Finance Officers Association will be held September 9th through 11th at the Marriott Bloomington-Normal, 201 Broadway Street, Normal, Illinois 61761. The election of Executive Board Officers and Members-at-Large will be conducted during the Annual Business Meeting at the conference on September 10, 2012.

The IGFOA Nominating Committee is seeking “Letters of Interest” from active members who would like to be considered for the two open positions of Member-at-large and Associate Representative on the Executive Board or from members interested in nominating a person for the position. The deadline for submission of “Letters of Interest” is July 9, 2012.

About the Member-at-large position

The term of office for the member elected at large shall be one year. Candidates for the 1-year term Member-at-large will be asked to make a three-year commitment to the IGFOA Executive Board, dependent on subsequent elections. The three-year commitment would cover the years of service as a member-at-large on the board. At the conclusion of those three years, the member-at-large could:

conclude his or her board service, or
declare his or her desire to continue serving on the board for a subsequent six years as an officer and ascend through the IGFOA’s officer positions as has been our tradition.

If a Member-at-large were to declare a desire to continue serving, the Nominating Committee would consider the individual for the next available officer position (Secretary or Treasurer). The Nominating Committee would determine, based upon the individual’s service as a Member-at-large, whether the individual was qualified for continued service.

The Member-at-large is a full voting member of the IGFOA Executive Board and responsibilities entail to help assure that the IGFOA programs and services are responsive to the needs of members and local government finance staff and such other duties as may be assigned by the President. The responsibilities of all Members at Large, in addition to the responsibilities of each Executive Board Officer and Member include serving as Board Liaison to a Committee as assigned. Members at Large are strongly encouraged to serve on IGFOA Annual Conference Committee. In addition, one Member at Large is assigned by the President to serve as Assistant Treasurer.

About the Associate Member Representative position

The term of this position, elected at large, shall be one year. Candidates for the 1-year term Associate Member Representative will be asked to make a two-year commitment to the IGFOA Executive Board, dependent on subsequent elections.

The duty of the Associate Representative shall be to provide communication between IGFOA Executive Board and Associate Members. The representative must be a current associate member of the IGFOA. The Associate Representative is a non-voting member of the IGFOA Executive Board. The responsibilities of the Associate Representative, in addition to the responsibilities of each Executive Board Officer and Member, are the following:

Chair the Associate Forum, the associate members' advisory committee to the Executive Board.
Facilitate communication between associate members and IGFOA.
Encouraged to serve on Conference Committee
Make regular reports to the Executive Board regarding the activities and accomplishments of the Associate Forum.
Work with staff to provide relevant information about the association and, as appropriate, host informational meetings for prospective and new associate members.

Both positions may include other duties as may be assigned by the President. Please refer to http://www.igfoa.org/ResponsibilitiesofBoardMembers.html for more information about Executive Board Officers and Members responsibilities.

Factors considered by Nominating Committee

In considering nominations for the Executive Board, the Nominating Committee will take into account such factors as work experience, public and professional contributions, demonstrated leadership, and participation in the activities of the IGFOA. In addition, the committee will consider the balance and diversification that each candidate would bring to the Executive Board, including such factors as the member’s professional discipline, the member’s employer group type, population size, demographics, and geographic location.

To be considered

In order to be considered, a candidate, or a member nominating an individual, must submit:

a letter to the Nominating Committee describing the candidate’s demonstration of the factors noted above,
a statement explaining why the candidate desires to serve on the Executive Board, and
a non-binding statement signed by the candidate indicating the acceptance of the multi-year commitment to serve on the Executive Board.

The Nominating Committee may request other relevant information from a candidate, if necessary, to assist in arriving at a decision.
