Members take office at the Board meeting held in conjunction with the NAICU Annual Meeting (typically early February), and serve until the Annual Meeting of their "class year."  All board members are elected to three-year terms except for the vice chair, who serves a fourth year as chair, and a fifth year as immediate past chair.  For details on the composition of the Board, visit the NAICU Governance Structure page.
