Duties, activities and
responsibilities
of the ILDA Board
of Directors
The information below covers what is
specifically required of the Board of Directors in the ILDA Bylaws. This
information
also includes Association policy when it comes to the responsibilities
and commitment of Board Members.
While some of the duties below sound like
hard work (and sometimes there is hard work), Board service is
also very rewarding. You'll broaden your horizons by interacting with a
variety of companies and people. You'll be able to shape important
issues within ILDA and the laser display industry -- one person can make
a difference! And you'll have a better feel for the laser show business,
which will spill over into your own day-to-day business.
In its first 26 years, ILDA has had
35
directors. (They are all listed on the
timeline on the
Board webpage.) Check out the
material below, and consider running for the
Board and joining this list of industry leaders!

The ILDA Board at the
membership meeting held during the 2012 Conference in San Antonio
Olga Eser, Dan Goldsmith, Alex Hennig, Justin Perry, President Christine
Jenkin.
