The Nominating Committee is now accepting submissions for consideration in the 2022 LTRI Board Elections.

The Nominating Committee is now accepting applications for the election of its 2022 Board Of Directors. The elections will take place between October 29 - November 30 and the elected  board members will be notified and announced in mid-December.   

The LTRI currently has 2 (two) open seats on its Board and encourages all qualified members* to consider running!

The Institute is committed to the diversification of its Board across a spectrum including;

  • Race, Geography, Ethnicity, Culture, Language, Gender

  • Expertise in needed skills 

  • Levels of LTRI membership (Individual Membership, Associate Membership, Professional Membership) 

We hope that the newly adopted Board Qualifications will foster this growth.
