Excellent question! The see who’s currently on the board, check out this page on our website.

Board members have a one-year term, after which they are required to be reelected. The term begins in April and ends in March of the following year. The only exception is the position of the Treasurer, who serves a minimum term of two years. After their term is up, board members must re-run for their position. There is no cap on the consecutive terms that can be held. The month of March is when elections are held and serves as a 'transition month' for the JETAA Chicago Leadership Board.

Board members are elected by JETAA members.

Any JETAA Chicago member can run to become a board member. Elections are planned to start in and around January/February. Reach out to info@jetaachicago.com for details about the election cycle and roles available.

While all positions on the board are important, the Treasurer's main purpose is to take care of the funding received to accomplish the chapter's mission. The treasurer, with help from the board, proposes the budget for the fiscal year in June in February of the next year the treasurer puts together the report that shows how all the chapter's funding was spent. You can read more about funding guidelines and procedures here or in this general overview.
