Subject: THIRD CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - Chairman, INCITS Finance Board Committee (FBC)

The term of office of the current INCITS Finance Board Committee (FBC) Chairman, Dr. Donald Deutsch, will expire in February 2007.   The first two calls for volunteers to serve as Chairman of the INCITS Finance Board Committee (FBC) closed without response.  A candidate has come forth.

This third call for volunteers to serve as Chairman of the INCITS Finance Board Committee (FBC) is being issued to the voting members of the Executive Board and will close on February 2, 2007.

Any principal or alternate representative of an INCITS Executive Board voting member is welcome to volunteer to serve. Before volunteering, the commitment required in time and responsibilities should be considered. Officers must actively support the administrative structure that ensures due process to all participants, assist in reaching consensus, and protect the accreditation of the entire system. 

The INCITS/RD-2, Organization and Procedures of INCITS, generally describes officers' responsibilities.

Those responding to this call must submit three written statements in support of their candidacy:

1. A statement of experience, indicating the volunteer's expertise in the committee's program of work, voluntary standards efforts, committee experience and leadership abilities.
   


2. A statement of management support acknowledging the additional workload, financial resources and duties required of an officer over and above that of a technical participant.  

Statements of management support on behalf of officer candidates must be submitted on organizational letterhead with appropriate signatures from those organizations that are affected by the additional workload and financial resources required.  Letters of management support should indicate a commitment for at least one year, although commitment for the full term of office is preferred.

3. A statement indicating that the candidate is a representative of a US domiciled organization, as elected officers of INCITS committees with US TAG responsibilities must be representatives of US domiciled organizations. 

The statements from candidates wishing to serve as Chairman of the INCITS Finance Board Committee (FBC) should be sent to the attention of Jennifer Garner (jgarner@itic.org) no later than February 2, 2007.
