IGR’s Responsibilities

June 1, 2025

OIAA is a membership non-profit, thus the members make the core decisions, and the board
makes all other policy decisions to maintain operations. Members vote every quarter at a
membership assembly meeting. Members include the IGRs or Alt-IGRs, committee chairs
and board members. Issues and proposed motions are published by the board a month in
advance to allow time for the IGRs and others to become informed about the matters.
Members vote on certain policies including electing officers and trustees, approving the
budget, adopting and amending bylaws and guidelines, approval of a new standing board
committee, dissolutions of both board and standing committees, and dissolution of the
organization. IGRs can also participate in the OIAA Service Committees and/or encourage
others in their group to participate in OIAA Committees. See more detail for these
responsibilities in the OIAA Guidelines, Sections 1.2.1 Member Voting Rights and
Responsibilities and 1.3 Intergroup Representatives (IGRs)
