The members of the Talent Council, who vet and recommend candidates, devote tremendous time, care, and effort to the process of developing the ballot. On this page, you will find information about ILTA's Board, about the election process, and about the candidates for the 2025-2027 Board of Directors. The election will be conducted in accordance with the ILTA Bylaws as ratified on 24 October 2022. Reminder: ILTA's Bylaws provide for a one-entity-one-vote model. Each member entity in good standing has a Designated Voter. That Designated Voter may not forward their ballot to another individual within their organization. Should you have any questions, please contact any member of the Talent Council or joy@iltanet.org.
