Each March, the General Membership elects a board of directors for N.O.R.E.I.A. The chosen board members then select committees for each board member to oversee. It is not unusual for board members to serve many terms, and for them to direct the same committees during their service period.

N.O.R.E.I.A. is an open, evolving organization. We welcome new participation on the board level. Board members are often some of the most experienced members of the association, and they usually specialize in at least one investing technique. Board members are not paid. Their service to the association is pro bono. They can expect to donate approximately ten (10) hours a month to fulfill their respective tasks.

Because of the time commitment involved, it is expected that a potential board member will serve on a board subcommittee for at least a year before running as a board member. This subcommittee work helps train the potential board member into the duties, roles, and expectations of the board work.

Many people who help the association by volunteering for different subcommittees, though, have no aspiration for becoming a board member some day. Many are just looking to give something back and help out. Many are looking to work more closely with the board member in charge of the subcommittee. Others are just looking to earn some more NOREIA Bucks.

Whatever the motivation, we welcome and ask for your assistance on the subcommittee and/or board level. We are a completely volunteer organization, and our dues are kept low because of the many men and women who pitch in and help. We hope you will be one of them. Every little bit helps.

If you would like to serve on any committee, please contact the board member responsible for that subcommittee, or contact any board member, for that matter. We welcome your assistance.
