About the VNZI Board
Our Board of Directors are elected by our registered VNZI members. There is an annual retirement by rotation for Board Directors and this is your opportunity to have direct input into the election process.
Any member of VNZI is eligible to nominate, second a nomination, or be nominated for the position of VNZI Director. All nominations must be seconded.
