The IIBA Winnipeg Chapter is now seeking nominations for open positions on the 2017-2018 Board of Directors. Role descriptions of the different positions that are open on the Board are available by clicking here.

As a Board member, you will have the opportunity to shape and influence the direction of our local chapter. You will learn about, and actively participate in, Board governance. Members of the Board have a unique opportunity to work with executives and fellow BA’s. Your involvement can enhance your credibility, teach you valuable skills, increase your stature as a BA and make you known as a key player in our BA community.

 
REQUIREMENTS
To become a Board member you must be a member in good standing with our local IIBA Winnipeg Chapter and IIBA International. Your position on the board is in a volunteer capacity and requires your dedication.  At a minimum, the Board meets on a monthly basis, with take-away tasks as assigned.  Time commitments run approximately from 5 to 10 hours per month, depending on the role. We ask that only those able to make the time commitment proceed with a nomination.
