2025 Bylaws Update

There are 3 main updates that are on the ballot with the 2025 Board of Directors Candidates. These changes were approved at the October 2025 board meeting  You can view the entire ITEC Bylaws here.

1. Past President to Vice President. The board is recommending restructuring the Executive Committee from the President Elect to the Vice President position. This would allow for more flexibility from year to year and not locking in person to a President Elect and then President position.
2. Board Term Limits. The board is recommending putting term limits on board members to allow for more people to potentially be involved as a ITEC board member.
3. Updated Committee Structure. The board is recommending the updated Standing Committees to more accurately reflect our current reality as a board.
