Member Board

The mission of the Member Board is to provide regional representation of the membership on the INCOSE Board of Directors. This enables INCOSE to maintain a close contact with the membership and create a community of enfranchised individuals. To this end the Member Board can be defined as the “voice of the member” within the INCOSE. This board exists to guide the INCOSE to act according to the needs, interests and priorities of the membership and the chapters. The stakeholders are defined as the past, current, and potential members of the INCOSE and its current and future chapters.

It is made up of elected representative(s) from each of the six regions, each of whom serve a three-year term. The Member Board Chair and Co-Chair sit on the INCOSE Board of Directors. The Member Board focuses on three areas:

  • Member experience
  • Vibrant chapters
  • Enhanced communications
 
Responsibilities

Some of the Member Board's responsibilities include:

  • Collect, analyze and maintain information about the needs, interests and priorities of the membership (current, past and potential).
  • Review and offer recommendations for restructuring the regional definitions to more closely align with the current demographics of the membership.
  • Collect, prioritize and identify appropriate actions that address issues received from INCOSE members and chapters. In formulating consensus recommendations, special attention will be given to minority positions.
  • Maintain regular contact with the members of their region via interactions with the chapters and facilitate inter-chapter communications and collaborations.
  • Hold meetings with chapter leadership in conjunction with the International Workshop and International Symposium in order to foster communication between and integration across the Chapters.
  • Identify opportunities for the formation of new chapters and assist in the communications and guidance for emerging chapters.
  • Devise member-related and chapter-related initiatives that support the mission and strategic goals of INCOSE.
  • Maintain strong collaborative links with the administrative committees and offer suggestions appropriate to their respective charters. Where appropriate, members of the Member Board shall participate in the work of administrative committees in the area of policy and procedure definition.
  • Focus on initiatives related to the retention of current members and the identification of potential membership populations.
  • Foster individual ideas from the members and, where supported by trade analyses and financial justifications as appropriate, help them connect with INCOSE resources in order to be realized.
