Qualities of the ideal Board Director
Board members must be willing to take an active role with intelliFLEX, and have the time to do so. They will roll up their sleeves to tackle issues that matter to our Members, and drive new strategic initiatives, such as membership development and funding proposals to support research and commercialization activities undertaken by our Members.
Other considerations
Emphasis will be placed on forming a board that reflects a variety of skillsets and, to the extent that it is possible, is also gender and geographically diverse.
The intelliFLEX Board has five seats. We have 2 seats to fill at the AGM this year. If we have more qualified applications, the AGM may decide to expand the board to six or seven seats.
If you are an Associate Member and not eligible to be on the Board of Directors, but interested in a playing a proactive role, please read the nomination information below for serving on the intelliFLEX Advisory Board.
