Q. How can I run for the IBNS Board of Directors? Members Only.
A. There are two ways you can be nominated for the IBNS Board of Directors. Firstly, elections are run every two years (the next elections will be held in 2014) and you can be nominated as a candidate for the Board by a member in good standing (other than yourself) and have your nomination seconded by another member in good standing. (So, by making your desire known to two other members, they can propose and second your nomination.) Secondly, you can contact the President and tell him that you would like to volunteer for the Board. If a vacancy exists, or becomes available, the President can nominate a member in good standing to fill the vacancy. Nominations for 2014 have closed.
