Board Changes

A lot has happened since the last fall meeting. Here's an update:

1. Corey George was appointed by the board as interim late last year to fill Mark Harris' seat.
2. Michelle Walls was appointed by the board as interim late last year to fill Scott Liber's seat.
3. Tommy Dewildt has been appointed by the board as interim to fill Nick Comer's seat.
4. Paresh Patel from Drivetrain Service has been nominated to fill Andy Mundy's board seat. Andy retires from the board after 2 terms.
5. Ryan Hochmiller moved from one member company (Active Truck Parts) to another member company (Vander Haag's). Ryan is currently vice-chair and will be voted on by the board to become chairman in October when Rudy Niswanger's chair term ends.
6. Kyle Forester has been appointed by the board as interim to fill Sarah Anderson's seat. 

There have been a lot of changes but the board is cohesive and the leadership is strong. The board is also thrilled with the new members.

Board Appointees Process: The Nomination Committee, which consists of the Chairman and past 2 chairmen, nominate candidates from the Convention Committee or other committees. The nominated candidate then is voted on by the board. 

Board Seat Process: For vacant seats, the Nomination Committee nominates candidates from the committees. The ITPA office also requests applications via the email bulletin. In absence of an application, the nominated candidate, wins the election by default.
