Our NSIP Board of Directors is a group of passionate people. It is made up of nine (9) official members composed of members and industry partners/experts. The positions are elected at the Annual General Membership Meeting (AGM) in April. A director of the Board serves a term of three years and then must be re-elected by the members at the annual general meeting. The members of the Board assist in the strategic direction of the society, financial health and maintenance, supporting and creating governance while holding committees accountable to their goals.
