Officers and Councilors are elected by active members of IDSNY in our annual elections. They volunteer their time and serve for a one year to multiple year term. We welcome any nominations of IDSNY members to positions as officers or councilors.
Councilors serve for a period of two years. They advise the officers on policies and support IDSNY activities. They are elected by the membership. Please consider getting involved in the IDSNY community.
