Board of Directors 2011-2012

Officers serve one year terms, from July through June, with elections being held annually.  All officers except the President may serve up to three consecutive years in the same position.  The President may serve two consecutive terms.  Working Directors serve as members of an Officer's team, with specific duties, and have all the benefits of Board membership, other than voting. 

Become a Board Member!

Would you like to meet people, help run a small not-for-profit business, and donate a little time to a respected organization while earning re-certification points?  If you answered, "Yes," to any of these questions,  please consider working with us.  Our Board is made up of dedicated volunteers, seven Officers and about seventeen Working Directors, who provide business and communications skills to the members of the APICS Triangle Chapter.

If this sounds like something you would like to do, contact Charles Ballard, Chapter President.  For information on the duties of each Officer, move your mouse cursor over each position title to see a list.
