Board of Directors
TACNY is governed and administered by a volunteer Board of Directors elected for renewable three-year terms, with approximately one-third ending their terms annually. Directors elect officers of the organization for one-year terms. Board meetings are held every other month. Directors also participate on committees, e.g. Programs, Communications, and Finance. TACNY chairs a Technical Societies Council, a “society of technical societies,” that facilitates collaboration between TACNY and other STEM organizations across Central NY. Committee members need not be Directors. If interested in joining a committee or being considered as a Director candidate, please contact tacnyadmin@tacny.org.
