MITA is always looking for driven industry candidates for its Board of Directors. Over the next couple of years, several Board positions will open up for contractor members, and MITA will be considering new contractor candidates soon. Associate member seats are filled through the end of 2028, so MITA is not actively soliciting new associate applications at this time — associate members interested in a future opening are still welcome to apply, and we’ll keep the application on file until a seat opens up.
How does it work? Your application is first reviewed by the MITA Executive Board. The Executive Board then assesses current board openings and applicant fit, and brings recommendations to the full Board of Directors in the fall for final approval. The goal of this process is to create a balance between the various disciplines performed by MITA members and to provide regional representation.
If you’ve already submitted an application in the past, we still have it on file — a quick email confirming you’re still interested is appreciated.
There are no wrong answers on the application, and many of the questions could be answered for you by MITA. However, the following questions should help you determine what the Executive Board is looking for in a board member, and are worth considering before you apply:
Can I make it to five in-person board meetings throughout the year?
Am I an owner or high-level executive of my organization?
Am I willing to attend more MITA events than I currently attend?
Will I be vested in the process?
Can I do this for up to eight years? (Contractor)
Can I do this for three years? (Associate)
Please also read the MITA Vision Statement and the MITA Board of Directors Code of Ethics.
In short, the Executive Board is looking for serious candidates — particularly for the contractor openings coming up over the next couple of years. If you’re interested, please fill out the attached application and return it to MITA’s Executive Vice President, Rob Coppersmith, at robcoppersmith@thinkmita.org. Thank you for your interest!
