Board of Directors Selection Process

All applicants for Board vacancies will be selected by the following process:

• Completed Board of Directors application, and
• Submission of current professional resume and declaration of interest
• Agreement to attend at least 50% of board meetings

Upon receipt of the applications for board positions, the Executive Director notifies the Board President of the nomination to be added to the agenda for the next full board meeting. For at-large positions, the President will appoint an ad hoc committee to review and make a committee recommendation to the board at the next full board meeting. Board member applications will be kept on file for one year and will be reviewed when there are open board positions. Open IBC board positions will be posted on the website and in the newsletter.

It is expected that all board members attend at least 50% of full board meetings or it may be deemed as an automatic resignation by the board. Review of attendance will be initiated by committee chairs and the Executive Director.

 

 

Standing Committee Overview

The purpose of IBC committee membership is to enhance IBC’s mission and assist in maintaining competency of IBC certified professionals. With the exception of the Committee on Ethics and Appeals, committee members do not need to be certified with IBC. An application for Committee membership must be completed and approved by the board before membership is granted. Approval is based upon the applicant’s expertise and reasons for wanting to join that committee.

It is expected that committee members attend at least 75% of the committee’s meetings per fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) and be actively involved in that committee.

 

The Ethics and Appeals Committee investigates ethics complaints received in accordance with the IBC Code of Ethics and IBC’s Ethics Policy, and makes recommendations for final determination by the Board of Directors. Each committee member must be a certified professional with the Iowa Board of Certification, in good standing, in order to participate on this committee.
