Elections to the Board
About the Board
The Board of Directors is the leadership body of the International Association of Facilitators (IAF). Directors serve in a voluntary capacity and oversee the Association's operations and strategic initiatives. The key responsibilities and duties are explained in the general role description for all Directors.
The Board consists of 16 members, whose terms are staggered so that approximately half of the Board positions come to term each year.
Nomination Procedures
Each year, a Nominations Commitee of IAF members oversees the elections to the Board.
The 2015 Nominations Committee includes:
- Bill Staples, IAF Hall of Fame, Chair of the Committee
- Jo Nelson, IAF Hall of Fame
- Ronit Andorn-Broza, Canada
- Giuseppe Totino, EMENA
- Carol Vale, Oceania
- Jonathan Bell, United States
All IAF members are invited to nominate themselves or other members to stand as candidates. As a volunteer-led Association, our success depends on the time and energy given of our members.
Candidates complete a Candidate Information Form, which is submitted with a current résumé or curriculum vitae, to the Nominations Committee.
The deadline for 2015 nominations is now closed and the Commitee has reviewed submissions against the requirements for each open position.
