IGR’s Responsibilities

OIAA is a membership non-profit, thus the members make the core decisions, and the board makes all other policy decisions to maintain operations. Members vote every quarter at a membership assembly meeting. Members include the IGRs or Alt-IGRs, committee chairs and board members. Issues and proposed motions are published by the board a month in advance to allow time for the IGRs and others to become informed about the matters. Members vote on certain policies including electing officers and trustees, approving the budget, adopting and amending bylaws and guidelines, approval of a new standing board committee, dissolutions of both board and standing committees, and dissolution of the organization. IGRs can also participate in the OIAA Service Committees and/or encourage others in their group to participate in OIAA Committees.  See more detail for these responsibilities in the OIAA Guidelines, Sections 1.2.1 Member Voting Rights and Responsibilities and 1.3 Intergroup Representatives (IGRs)
