The 2020 call for nominations to the ISCA Board of Directors.

Article Transcript

The Board of Directors shall comprise no fewer than four (4) Directors. The Directors shall be elected each year at the Annual Member Meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Voting Members, provided that a quorum is present. Directors shall be at least 21 years of age but need not be residents of the United States (except for the office of Treasurer.) Each Director must be a Voting Member of the Corporation. No person may serve as a Director if such person has been convicted of a felony in their country of citizenship unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. The Officers of the Corporation shall be chosen by the Board of Directors and shall consist of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. No two (2) or more offices may be held by the same person. Each Officer must be a Voting Member of the Corporation. No person may serve as an Officer if such person has been convicted of a felony in their country of citizenship, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. Any existing member of the Corporation who has a membership in good standing for a minimum of one (1) year is eligible to serve as an Officer except for the office of President. The President must be an existing member of the Corporation with a membership in good standing for a minimum of two (2) years.

Below is a description of each officer position made up of or chosen by the Board of Directors:

• PRESIDENT: The chief executive officer of the association. He/She holds the responsibility

of the general and active management of the affairs of the association, and sees that all orders and resolutions of the Board of Directors are carried into effect.

• VICE PRESIDENT: Assists the President in the management of ISCA, heads up membership

drive and assists in the planning and operation of the annual convention. Additional duties may include assisting with the quarterly publication, Exaggerated Features. The Vice President is also next in line to ascend to the office of President in case the sitting President is unable to complete his or her term.

• SECRETARY: Attends all meetings of the Board of Directors and the members, records

all votes and actions there taken, maintains the minutes or records of all proceedings, and performs like duties when requested by the Board of Directors or the President. The Secretary shall give, or cause to be given, notice of all meetings of the members and special meetings of the Board of Directors.

• TREASURER: The chief financial and accounting officer of ISCA shall have custody

of all funds and securities, shall deposit all monies and other valuable effects in the name and to the credit of the Association, and shall keep full and accurate records and books of account of the Association. The Treasurer shall perform these duties when requested by the Board of Directors or the President, including preparation of any accounting of financial transactions or proposed budget for ISCA.

As mentioned above, members choose four (4) people to serve as the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors chooses who will serve the board as officers. In most cases, the board will select themselves for each office. (As has been strongly recommended by our attorneys.) This election will conclude at the annual business meeting virtually during this year’s annual conference. The new term will begin November 20, 2020 and last until the next annual conference in November, 2021, in Las Vegas, NV. Other than President and Vice President, most of these positions are a minimal investment of your time, roughly a total of 5-15 hours a month (though this year has seen a significant increase in time investment). Most of the responsibility of the board members comes into play at the annual conference. These responsibilities include helping at registration and overall assistance at the event. Throughout the year, the President will call on the board members for assistance in certain projects, including management of social media posts, moderating ISCA forums, pursuing potential sponsorships,and overall decisions of the organization. Now that you’re interested in the prospect of supporting this tremendous organization of ours, here’s what you do to submit your nomination:

Submit your nominations on the Facebook page in the nominations thread. You can nominate yourself (which is accepted and encouraged) or someone you think would meet the above requirements. Another member must second your nomination for the nominee to be considered. Once nominated, and seconded, nominees must contact ISCA Secretary Erik Roadfeldt at erikroadfeldt@caricature.org.

Nominations must be confirmed no later than October 24, 2020 to qualify for the 2020-2021 election. Virtual ballots will be delivered to members via email or similar means. Those who still wish to submit a physical ballot can request one by contacting ISCA manager CeCe Holt by email (manager@caricature.org) or by post (710 NE 100 Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64155, USA). In any case, votes must be cast by November 18, 2020, prior to the ISCA business meeting (time TBA). The top four (4) members receiving the most votes will become board members.
