To be considered “present in person” when attending a board meeting virtually, candidates must be recognized by the Secretary as being in attendance, be able to hear and be heard by the Directors and be seen (video enabled) for the duration of the meeting.
- Candidates for TBoI Officer positions must have previously served for at least one (1) year as a TBoI Officer or Director.
- Nominees for the Secretary position shall have the independent knowledge and experience to complete or oversee all functions of this position including website and newsletter editing and maintenance.
