Virginia
Williams and Thomas Freitag are interested to participate on the Board
for another year and are available for re-election. Willem Jan Hofmans who was an active
ICFS Ambassador last year is interested to participate on the Board. Vanessa
Shaw has decided to step down from the Board. We thank her for
her
previous contributions. In order to develop a stronger succession plan for the ICFS Board, we suggest that Thomas Freitag be elected President. As Virginia Williams has been President or co-President for several years, we suggest that she serve this year as Vice President | Past President. We welcome any other ICFS members in good standing with the time, expertise, experience and commitment to be considered for one of the ICFS Board positions.See the eligibility criteria and application HERE.

 ICFS Board Criteria for Eligibility for Election
|
If you are interested to apply for election to the ICFS Board, please review the eligibility requirements, including skills, competencies, time commitments and professional experience listed on the ICFS Application for Board Member or Ambassador. According to the ICFS Bylaws, we are required to have a minimum of THREE board members and a maximum of SEVEN board members.
The posts of ICFS Ambassador are specifically for aspiring board members, and
it is hoped that successful candidates for these positions will then stand for election to one
of the Board positions in the subsequent year. These positions will
be filled if candidates apply and meet the minimum requirements. Ambassadors
are appointed by the current ICFS Board of Directors.

Sunday 9

interested to be an Ambassador, please follow the same process 1-5
