Voting for 2nd Trustee & Section Director

Each year the Intermountain Section (IMS) members elect a Second Trustee, who will progress through the Section leadership positions in a span of 6 years (i.e., rotating through the Second Trustee, First Trustee, Vice Chair, Chair Elect, Section Chair, and Past Chair positions). The Second Trustee is part of the Board of Trustees, the governing body of the Intermountain Section. The Trustees perform the duties assigned by the Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Every three years, a new Section Director is elected. They represent the Section on the Association level, sit on the Board of Directors, and serve for three years. They are an important liaison between the Section and AWWA.
