2021 saw the much-needed revision of pertinent LIBOR Bylaws and Policies related to Election and Board Composition to bring about a more diverse leadership within the association. The Board of Directors will now comprise less members, whom are voted on by the entirety of membership.
These elected volunteer leaders will meet regularly to make decisions about how best to invest member resources to implement the association’s strategic goals and to work diligently to represent the needs and values of our members.
The 2022 Board of Directors will be installed at the 2021 Installation and Awards Ceremony held in December.
