Dear AIG Members:

As the Secretary for the Association of Inspectors General, it is my responsibility to notify the membership of this organization that EIGHT (8) vacancies will exist for the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2026. These vacancies have been declared in accordance with the Association’s Bylaws and Constitution.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the membership with information concerning the nominations and election processes that will be used to fill these Board vacancies. Please note that you must be a member in good standing in the National organization in order to participate in the election, either as a nominee/candidate or as an elector.

1. Any member may nominate a member of the Association of Inspectors General to serve as a candidate for one of the vacant positions on the Board of Directors. This applies only to members of the national organization.

3. A nominee for the Board of Directors is required to have been a member of the National organization for membership year 2025/2026; dues for the 2026/2027 membership year must be paid in full at the time a member is nominated for candidacy.
4. A nominee must have been a member of the national AIG for one year before he or she may be nominated for election to the Board. (Note: A paid registration fee for the annual training conference or for an Institute® DOES NOT include payment for annual dues. Please make sure that your dues have been and are paid in full.)
