The annual call for IOUG Board of Directors candidates opened on January 17^th. We have received applications from several candidates but want to make sure you have the opportunity to submit your application before time is up. All members of the IOUG are eligible to run for the Board of Directors. The directors elected will serve a two-year term, beginning on May 28, 2012.

As a member of the IOUG, you have seen the benefits of participating in a users group.  Managing a users group, however, affords you another level of professional and personal benefit. As a member of the IOUG Board of Directors, you have an incredible opportunity to become a peer leader and positively affect the future of this organization. In addition, you will have access to Oracle's senior management.

We need dedicated, energetic leaders who are capable of leading this large organization. A Board Member ideally has at least one year of volunteer experience with the IOUG. Please click here for more information and to submit your application.

Applicants will be interviewed by the Election Committee in February and the slate of candidates will be announced on the web site in early March 2012. The election will take place March 1 - March 19, 2012.

If you would like more information on the responsibilities and obligations of becoming a board member, please call the IOUG Headquarters at +1.312.245.1579.  Headquarters staff can also refer you to a current board member who will answer additional questions.
