The IMPACT Board of Directors (BoD) is responsible for the overall management of, and setting the vision for, the IMPACT Conference. The Board works with our National Planning Committee to produce the annual conference, as well as creating strategic partnerships, long-term planning, and overall financial management.
We are always looking for new board members! Board member terms are typically for three years (with optional one-year terms for student members), running from July to July. We have two in-person meetings per year, one at the annual conference in February and a board retreat every September.
IMPACT’s Board is an incredible opportunity for individuals aligned with IMPACT’s values, who are ready to learn and develop with link-minded professionals. Being on the BoD will grow the individual’s network with professionals across the country with diverse backgrounds. These connections are made with other BoD members along with the planning committee, sponsors, and faculty and student attendees. The IMPACT BoD is a great first board experience for individuals who are committed to learning and growing, both as professionals and people.
Board member applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Apply here and reach out to membership@impactconference.org with questions.
