Board Member Responsibilities:
Being a Board member involves a substantial commitment to UGIC. Board members are expected to participate in monthly meetings that last about 2 hours usually held somewhere along the Wasatch Front. To encourage a better geographic representation on its Board, UGIC now has capability for its board members to participate in its meeting via internet-based live meeting collaboration software. More meetings may be held as large events approach or as deemed necessary by the Board Officers. Also members are expected to assume additional responsibilities both for the preparation and the implementation of UGIC events. These activities may and usually do require extra time throughout the month in addition to the monthly meetings.
Board Member Requirements:
