2020 AIRA Board of Directors Election
The 2020 AIRA board of directors election results are in with a record-breaking number of ballot submissions! We had an excellent slate of highly qualified candidates and it was a really close election. The following four directors will begin their terms on October 1, 2020.
AIRA welcomes three IIS member directors to the board:
- Miriam Muscoplat, the MIIC manager and MIIC operations supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Health
- Kathryn Cruz, the IIS manager for the New Mexico State Department of Health
- Jeffrey McIntyre, the IIS manager for the Mississippi State Department of Health, was re-elected to serve his second consecutive term on the AIRA board as an IIS member director.
AIRA welcomes one non-IIS member director to the board:
- Steve Murchie, the CEO at Envision Technology Partners, was re-elected to serve his second consecutive term on the AIRA board as a non-IIS member director.
Board of Directors Half-Term Vacancy Filled
AIRA also welcomes one additional IIS member director to the board to fill a half-term vacancy:
- John Robison, the Interoperability Coordinator for the Philadelphia Department of Health
There has been a vacancy on the AIRA board effective August 1, 2020 when Jude Alden resigned. The board has appointed John Robison to serve the remainder of her term. The board based this decision on the recent election in which he received the next highest number of votes for an IIS member director. His service begins immediately and will end September 30, 2021.
Each incoming director brings a variety of expertise to the board; together they bring over 30 years of experience in immunization, IIS, and interoperability.
Congratulations to all of our new directors and a huge thank you to our outgoing officers and directors!
Bylaws Amendment Proposal
The AIRA board put forth an amendment to modify AIRA’s bylaws to adjust the composition of the Executive Committee and extend voting rights to all of the committee’s members. This amendment was proposed in light of the establishment of the Governance Committee Chair as an officer role.
Per AIRA's bylaws, these bylaws may be amended by a majority of voting members. A majority of AIRA's voting members voted in favor of the amendment. This amendment is effective immediately.
Thank you for supporting AIRA and its continued efforts to provide leadership for current and future IIS activities!
