Nominations are now open for candidates seeking election to the Board of Directors of NARSA/IDEA – The International Heat Transfer and Diesel Emissions Association. The Board is responsible for setting policy, reviewing programs, developing projects and approving budgets for sustaining the overall financial health of the organization. The Board provides for the direction of staff and association resources to accomplish the objectives of the organization. Director responsibilities include, but are not limited to, attendance at quarterly board meetings, 3 of which are virtual, attendance at monthly financial and membership review meetings online and 4 hours of service a month. 

Each board seat carries a two-year term. The NARSA Board of Directors can consist of a minimum of eight (8), and a maximum of thirteen (13) members. Those who are not serving on the current board will go through an interview process during which the Nominations Committee (current president, chairman, and executive director) will interview prospective candidates. During the process, the NARSA/IDEA leadership will also be able to review board member responsibilities and expectations with candidates. Nominations will remain open until July 15, 2021.

Election is by the Board of Directors, and the election will be held at its September meeting. For additional information contact NARSA/IDEA Chairman Aaron Morrow, aaron.morrow@johnsonmfg.com, or Executive Director Mark Taylor, mtaylor@narsa.org or call (410) 320-5119.
