IDA Elects Board of Directors

The INTERNATIONAL DETAILING ASSOCIATION has elected their first board of directors. In accordance with the Association by-laws the nominating committee requested nominations from the general membership and then selected a slate of candidates for the 8 positions on the Board. Membership was advised if they wanted to add any other candidate they could do so by obtaining the signatures of 10 members of the association and submitting them to the IDA along with the nominee's name.

Since no additional names were suggested, ballots were sent to all members of the IDA to vote.

Voting closed 9/19/08 at midnight and the results are as follows:

OPERATOR DIRECTORS

Yvan Lacroix - Repare-Brise
Prentice St Clair - Detail in Progress
