The application period is now open for any eligible IPT member desiring to serve on the IPT Board of Governors. Please note all applicants must be designated by the Institute, holding either a CMI or CCIP designation, to serve on the Board.
Each year, three members are nominated to serve on the Board, and one member is nominated to serve as Second Vice President. (Typically, the incumbent First Vice President and Second Vice President are nominated to President and First Vice President, respectively). The term for new Board members is three years.
As you consider this opportunity, here is some additional information that may be helpful in your decision:
• The Board has three meetings each year - once during the Annual Conference, a November meeting, and a March meeting. These meetings are typically held on a Saturday and/or Sunday and usually require at least one night’s stay but no more than two;
• IPT allows for up to $3,750 reimbursement each year for standard airfare, up to two nights lodging per meeting, meals not provided by IPT, and other travel-related expenses for attendance at Board meetings;
• Registration fees for Board members are waived for attendance at the annual conferences, symposiums, and one IPT school per year during their term. The IPT school waiver can be shared with another employee within their company; and,
• Service on the Board of Governors provides an excellent opportunity for IPT-designated members, who have actively participated in the organization, to help shape, guide, and lead IPT into the future.
Please refer to IPT’s By-Laws for a list of eligibility requirements. Any eligible member interested in being considered for an IPT Board of Governors position, either regular Board or Officer position, must obtain the 2025 Board of Governors Application Form by emailing IPT Executive Director, Chris G. Muntifering, CMI, at
cmuntifering@ipt.org. This form is not available on the IPT website, nor can a prior year form be used in lieu of the current year application form as conditions have changed.
Your completed application must be returned, preferably by email, by the end of business, March 3, 2025 for consideration by the Nominating Committee. The Committee keeps all applications and discussions confidential. Applications will be immediately destroyed following the Committee’s meeting. Your 2025 membership and designation dues, including any past unpaid dues, must be paid in full to be considered for nomination by the Committee.
