Board of Directors

Board of Directors: As of 2026, elections for the Board of Directors are held annually. Board Directors serve for 2 years. In order to have continuity, the terms stagger with two members chosen one year and three members chosen the alternating years. If necessary, the board may appoint a Director to serve a remaining term. Here are the current Board members as of July 1, 2026 and a summarization of their roles and responsibilities.

Board Communications

  • The Board of Directors plans to meet on the fourth Monday of each month.
  • Agendas and approved minutes of Board meetings are available upon request from the Vice President of Communication & Records.
  • Official communications from the Board will be distributed by email through the Vice President of Communication & Records or another Board officer.

Board Leadership Structure

  • To better serve the community, the Board of Directors has assigned each Vice President a specific area of responsibility to provide leadership and oversight in key aspects of the Association’s operations. While individual officers serve as the primary contacts for their assigned responsibilities, the Board of Directors governs collectively. Major decisions are made by the Board through discussion and majority vote in accordance with the Association’s governing documents and applicable Illinois law.
