Call for 2022 Board of Directors |
Per the Mokena Chamber of Commerce Bylaws, the Nominating Committee is accepting applications for the 2022 Board of Directors. The term of office is for 1 year, with eligibility to serve an additional two years upon election of same. The Board of Directors consists of 10-14 members. The Board of Directors typically meets monthly, and all members of the Board of Directors are expected to attend other Chamber functions and volunteer their time and energy for various Chamber projects. Board members are expected to serve as positive leaders of the Chamber and to demonstrate their commitment to the Chamber by serving on at least one Chamber Committee.
The Board member must be a member in good standing in the Mokena Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, no more than one representative from any member organization may serve on the Board simultaneously.
We encourage our members to apply. Applicants are selected by a Nominating Committee based upon service in the Chamber as well as background and experience. This slate of Directors is presented for election to the General Membership at the November General Membership Meeting. Seating of the new board will take place at the December 2021 Board of Directors meeting. (This might take place virtually).
Unfortunately, due to limits we may not be able to accept every applicant, but we encourage you to apply if you are interested. All applications should be submitted to the Mokena Chamber of Commerce Office no later than October 8, 2021. The application can be submitted via email to chamber@mokena.com or faxed to the office at 708-479-7144.
*If you are a current Board Member you still need to fill out the application if you wish to be on the Board next year.
