Current Executive Board
Call for 2011-12 IGFOA Board Nominations Apply by July 11th
The Annual Conference of the Illinois Government Finance Officers Association will be held September 11th through 13th is at the Springfield Hilton, 700 East Adams Street, Springfield, IL 62701-1601. The election of Executive Board Officers and Members-at-Large will be conducted during the Annual Business Meeting at the conference on September 12, 2011.
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 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 11, 2011.
About the Member-at-large positions
Non-CFO position – 2-year term: One of the at-large members must not be the chief financial officer (CFO) (i.e. not the finance director or comparable official) of his or her government at the time of election. The term of office for the non-CFO at-large member shall be two years. This is not intended to restrict the number of non-CFO members on the Executive Board to one. Rather the intent is to ensure that at least one non-CFO member is on the Executive Board. The non-CFO Member-at-large is responsible for chairing the IGFOA Assistants’ Network.
Member-at-large position – 1 year term: 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.
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.
The deadline for submission of “Letters of Interest” is July 11, 2011.
Letters are to be sent to
Rita Trainor, IGFOA Immediate Past President
Nominating Committee Chair
c/o Wheaton Park District
102 E. Wesley
Wheaton, IL 60187
or e-mail letter to rtrainor@wheatonparks.org
