It's that time of the year again when we invite IVRPA members to step up and volunteer to be part of the IVRPA Board of Directors.

This year, three seats on the IVRPA board of directors will be up for election.

Directors finishing their terms in 2013: Carlos Chegado, Sam Rohn and Ayrton Camargo.

The new elect directors will serve two year terms starting January 1, 2014 and finishing December 31, 2015.

To run for one of these seats, log on to the IVRPA website and post your statement of candidacy on the members forum: http://ivrpa.org/forum/members.
