Nominations for Irrigation Association awards, board of directors now being accepted

The Irrigation Association is accepting nominations for the 2016 – 2019 positions on its board of directors. Directors are elected to three-year terms by the association’s regular members and represent the diversity of IA’s member types and market segments. Regular members include manufacturers, dealer/distributors, manufacturers’ representatives, contractors, consultants and affiliate organizations.

Board members establish the association’s strategic direction, policies and programs.

Any regular IA member in good standing is eligible to serve on the board.

Completed nominations are due on or before Thursday, May 12. The IA Directors’ Nominating Committee will review all candidates and propose a formal slate for approval by the current board. Once approved, IA members will vote on this year’s nominees.
