Annual chapter elections are an opportunity for members to shape the activities of the chapter and have an impact on the local game industry and community.
The chapter board of directors consists of up to seven members, including a chair and a vice chair (or two co-chairs), a treasurer, and a secretary, plus any other titled positions the board may deem appropriate. One person may hold more than one office.
Elections are held for general seats on the board, and not for specific positions. At the start of each new term, the board votes to allocate position titles and duties among its members. Directors serve a two-year term, with staggered elections held annually.
In the event that any seat on the board is unable to be filled through regular elections or becomes vacant by resignation or any other reason, the remaining members of the board may vote to appoint an interim director to serve until the next election cycle.
This year one seat is open for election, with two seats reserved for appointment. Continuing members of the board are Mattia Sicuro, Kevin Hoskin, Olga Polukhina and Nicole Papadopoulos.
In order to run or vote in the election, you must be a registered member of the IGDA by the close of the nomination or election period. To become a member, visit https://igda.org/membership/
