The National Society of IT Service Providers is going strong - and we'll be stronger with YOU.
We are pleased to announce the 2024 NSITSP elections for all positions. This is our THIRD year of holding elections. We have one totally new committee this year – Professional Development. Plus, we have openings on the Board of Directors and all other committees.
It is truly amazing how far the NSITSP has come in just three years. We were founded in 2021 and spent a lot of time putting together our structure and committees. Our first elections were held in 2022, and we continue electing officers each year. Our system is designed so about half of all posts are up for election each year. That means that we have elections for the Board and all committees in September! See details below.
Our By-Laws provide that all vacancies are filled by appointment. Appointees serve until the next election. And that is now. Everyone standing for election this year will run for a full two-year term.
This blog post describes our election calendar and what you can expect. Please feel free to contact me or the admin staff at NSITSP.org.
