NKBA | KBIS is now accepting self-nominations for its national elections. This is an opportunity to take volunteerism from the local to the national level by serving on the association’s Board of Directors (BOD) or one of its key standing committees.
Open positions include:
- Board of Directors (BOD)—Two positions
- Chapter Leadership Committee (CLC)—One position
- Leadership Recruitment Committee (LRC)—One position
- KBIS Exhibitor Committee (KEC)—Five positions
To be considered for the Board of Directors, Chapter Leadership Committee, or Leadership Recruitment Committee, candidates should be NKBA members in good standing. Please note that Chapter Leadership Committee applicants must be a current chapter officer or have previously served at least one full term as a chapter officer within the last two years. The applicant does not need to maintain officer status, however, to remain in the CLC position.
