IAMU Board of Directors Openings

1/25/2023

0 Comments

 
IAMU’s nominating committee is currently looking for interested parties to fill current and potential vacant positions on the IAMU board of directors.

All director positions on the IAMU Board are “at large”, but we do consider a variety of criteria when evaluating potential candidates in an effort to maintain a balance of perspectives. In doing so we will consider many criteria including but not limited to: educational background, work experience, gender, race, utility location, type of utility represented, and size of community represented. Terms are three years. While directors can leave at any time we are particularly interested in candidates that, after some time on the board, are willing to consider serving on the executive committee. Directors are term limited after 10 years, and most volunteers reach term limits. We have had excellent participation over the years.

The board typically meets the second Thursday of the odd numbered months in Ankeny from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. There are eleven members of the board. While in person attendance is encouraged and preferred, some electronic attendance is permissible. 

If interested please contact Executive Director Troy DeJoode by email at tdejoode@iamu.org
