ILDA Board and officers


ILDA is governed by a five-member Board of Directors elected by the membership. Elections are held during the Business Meeting, which is part of the annual ILDA Conference.

  • Each director serves a term of two years. A director may run for re-election if he or she wishes.
  • The President is a Board member, who is elected by ILDA Members. The vote is held each year, just after Board elections have finished. Board members are asked if they want to run for President. If only one person accepts, they become President. If more than one person accepts, then there is an election where Members vote for their choice.
In its first 35 years, ILDA has had 42 directors. A text list of past Board members is on the ILDA history page, and we have a timeline graphic showing the Board members and their terms.
