Every year, a call for nominations is sent to our community in search of new members for the ResNet, Inc. Board of Directors.
At this time our community is limited to individuals who are currently employed at an institution of education (i.e. secondary and post-secondary schools, colleges, and universities.)
A vote for the new members of the Board of Directors will occur in July after the ResNet Student Technology Conference. A simple For/Against voting system will occur. If there are more candidates than the number of open positions, the individuals receiving the most votes will receive positions on the Board of Directors.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the required documentation, please contact board@resnetinc.org
