IAMSLIC is seeking volunteers and nominations for the following IAMSLIC Executive Board offices: Junior President-Elect and Secretary. These are both excellent professional development and leadership opportunities. The election will take place prior to our annual conference in October.

Our bylaws describe the officer duties and election procedures. Please note that the Junior President-Elect commitment is 3 years total, which includes serving as Senior President-Elect in the 2nd year and as President in the 3rd year. The Secretary commitment is 2 years with an opportunity for re-election.
