Assembly Announcement

Assembly Agenda

Election

Anyone who wishes to stand for election will have up to 3 minutes to verbally present relevant qualifications. An outline for resume presentation to help prepare for qualifying is available on the OIAA website. We do not require this format, but it may be helpful.

Election of OIAA Officers

We encourage all who are qualified to stand for election. Officer positions standing for election are Vice Chair, Secretary, Technology Chair, and Trustee at Large. The board received service resumes for officer positions submitted as requested by November 15. We recommend anyone else who plans to stand prepare a service resume for presentation at the assembly.

Eligibility Requirements of Officer Positions

Anyone who has served in an OIAA service position is eligible to serve as an intergroup officer. No person may hold more than one intergroup office at a time, nor may any officer serve concurrently as an alternate or as an IGR. All Officers must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.

Descriptions and Eligibility 2024 (5.1.1., 5.2.1.2-3, 5.2.1.5)

Election of Trustee at Large

The Board has created two new non-officer trustee positions who need not have served in OIAA but could have equivalent service elsewhere.. Last year, we elected Beth A. as our International trustee, so she has another year of service in that role. We had elected a Trustee-at-large, but that individual stepped down.  The Board appointed Barry M., the former OIAA Secretary, as the Trustee-At-Large but now we will be electing this trustee. Please submit resumes for these positions.

Election Procedure

Voting Members will elect the officers standing for election.
