=============================================================


This year we have 5 mandates up for election:
President, Vice President, Webmaster, Moderator and Cash Auditor.

In addition, we need someone to be our second Auditor/Data Protection Officer.

The President is the the official representative of the Association vis-à-vis authorities, banks and business partners. The president is fully authorised to sign for the fulfilment of presidential tasks and receives full access to the ipernity database (via admin tool). The President defines the strategy for ipernity along with the entire Board and advisors, and is the highest authority in settling internal conflicts.

The Vice-President is responsible for public relations and promotional activities helping to ensure that our community has a sufficient influx of new club members. Knowledge and experience with social media would be useful. This position has a lot of flexibility and is fully supported by the rest of the ima board members.

The Webmaster coordinates all technical measures required to maintain the operational performance of the Association’s website. This requires full access to the ipernity database (via admin tool) and unrestricted access to the AWS console. Basic knowledge and skills in HTML, PHP, CSS, mySQL and Javascript are useful for the timely resolution of simple faults. Additional IT knowledge and skills are desirable.

The Moderator coordinates all internal matters of the Board and is responsible for the timely handling of membership matters (help tickets, removing spam, welcoming new members, etc). The moderator prepares agendas, draft resolutions, and takes minutes for all board meetings and the annual IGA. The moderator maintains, distributes and archives the association's records.

An Auditor is responsible for certifying the annual financial report compiled by the Treasurer prior to an Ipernity General Assembly.

These mandates are crucial to the continued operation of the association and the website.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The deadline for application is March 9th, 2025. Take this opportunity to shape ipernity's future.
