BISG welcomes applicants to serve on its Board of Directors. Directors serve two-year terms, attend at least four regularly scheduled meetings each year, and may be asked to serve on board subcommittee efforts. Board terms start on July 1st and continue to June 30th of the second year following. Members of the Board are expected to represent the interests of the segment they serve.
The nominating committee will identify six candidates for Board seats, all of whom will serve two-year terms in one of four segments: publisher; wholesaler/distributor; retailer; and industry service partner. The manufacturing and library seats are filled through June 30, 2020.
The deadline to apply for consideration is December 17, 2018 at 5 pm ET. Any candidate for the Board must be an employee of a member company in good standing with BISG. Self-nominations are allowed. Completing this s survey constitutes a formal request for consideration by the nominating committee.

All candidates chosen for the Board are approved as part of BISG's Annual Meeting of Members, scheduled to take place in New York on April 26, 2019.
