The 2021 Board elections for Imirt are coming up and there will be four seats of board members, whose terms are ending, available for nominees to fill (The seats of current board members Ellen Cunningham, Denman Rooke, Brendan Dillon and Jairo Lopes).
Being on the board of Imirt means you get to add your voice, steer the agenda, and work alongside other members of our industry to implement the goals of the organisation. As a volunteer-run organisation we look forward to welcoming new faces to the board every year and would like to encourage anyone in the Irish games community to consider running. There is no requirement in terms of years of experience or job role - the most important qualification is that you are passionate about the work of Irish game creators and the potential of Irish games industry. We welcome any and all kinds of nominees and we also welcome everyone who has previously run for the elections to put themselves forward again.
To become a nominee you simply need to e-mail contact@imirt.ie expressing your interest in contributing to Imirt by Monday November 22nd. We will then ask for your bio, goals, and optional photo to put on the Imirt website before the election. If you have questions about what is involved in being a board member, feel free to reach out to any of the current board members.
