AIRS Board Nominations - Alliance of Information and Referral Systems

AIRS Colleagues,

As the AIRS Board Development Chair, I am charged with supporting adequate and appropriate representation of all facets of the I&R industry as members of the AIRS Board of Directors. It is an ongoing project, requiring interested leaders from all the I&R disciplines, as well as professional experts from all facets of business and organizational management to answer a call for service. This message is that call, and is a personal invitation from me as the vice president of our professional association to you to consider joining the AIRS Board.

Serving on the AIRS Board requires a personal and professional commitment, and is outlined in the attached documents. The Board Development Committee review nominations in January; works diligently to look at the diversity of the industry and our membership to maintain a board that fully represents the interests and strategic planning needs of the full spectrum of I&R service providers.

My time on the board has been a rewarding and totally enlightening experience that has provided the opportunity to work with industry leaders, creative and caring professionals, and great personalities as we have worked to improve information
services. I am confident you will find it challenging and rewarding as well.

We have closed our nominations process for entry onto the Board for 2010, although it is possible opportunities may emerge. However, we are now looking for people interested in coming onto the Board in 2011. So please review the documents and submit your nominations prior to December 18, 2010.

I urge local Affiliate leadership to look to their members for nominees to support as potential board members. I also ask all the I&R disciplines in the information services spectrum to consider nominating leaders to bring their respective voices to the Board.

AIRS is also working to gain a clearer understanding of member organizations and the professionals represented through those memberships. As the Board Development committee moves forward in this process, we may identify specific geographic, demographic, service types or professional skill sets we feel are a priority to include on the board. Additional calls for these priorities may be made if they are not represented in the nominations pool for consideration. Please take a moment to consider whether you or someone you know is willing and able to serve, and to send in their nomination as soon as possible.

I appreciate your consideration on this. If you have any questions or wish to discuss any barriers to service or issues associated with the Board, please feel comfortable in contacting me to discuss them.

Sincerely,
Faed Hendry
AIRS Vice President
