Each year, open positions on the IWLA Board of Directors are filled through a nomination and vetting process conducted by the IWLA Nominating Committee, as prescribed by the association’s bylaws. The 2017 committee announces its recommended slate:

Each board director can serve up to three consecutive three-year terms.

Members in attendance at the 2017 IWLA Convention & Expo will be asked to ratify this slate during the March 21 IWLA Business Meeting. If you have questions about the process, please contact IWLA at mail@IWLA.com.
