Constitutional Amendment Encourages Involvement in IIMC Board of Directors Elections |

As proposed: Shall the IIMC Constitution, Article VIII, Qualifications, Nominations, and Election, Section 2, Qualifications of Candidates for Region Director, be amended by striking out subsection F, which reads “Provide written support of candidacy from their state, provincial, or national association within the Region in which they are running”?
This amendment is in effect as of July 14, 2021.

IIMC staff continues to work daily, ascertaining that we are meeting our members' needs and ensuring there is continuity within the Organization. Staff continues to work full-time via a staggered schedule, splitting its time in the office and remotely as we slowly maneuver our way into having everyone safely back at headquarters. The timetable to return staff safely to a full office schedule is still in flux. Staff's safety and continuous service to our members are paramount. As of this E-Briefing, staff will continue to operate using a staggered schedule until it's safe to return everyone to work.
The Education Department has been working with Institutes and IIMC affiliated online companies to produce webinars and to provide complimentary and discounted online courses. The certification application and review process remain at two to three-weeks. Members who have certification points on file may still schedule appointments in available time slots to discuss reviewed certification applications and points received.
The Membership Department continues to be at your service via email or phone calls.
If you have any questions, please contact staff or me. Thank you and stay safe.
