The NYS GIS Association Board of Directors Proposes Changes to Bylaws

Summary of Changes

These changes are designed to strengthen the Board and add additional talent and focus. The Board is recommending that the size of the Board be increased to six (6) Directors. This will create two (2) new Director positions with the alternate year terms currently in place. It is also proposed that the requirement that Past Presidents wait two (2) years before running for Director be removed. The most forward-looking change is the creation of a new position: Information Technology Officer (ITO). The back office of the Association needs rejuvenation. This appointed position will focus on achieving that goal.
