Board membership terms are staggered and governed by term limits under the ISTJ by-laws. No trustee may serve for more than two consecutive terms, although a trustee may return to the board after a break in service. We anticipate regular turnover of trustees once we get beyond this early foundational period.
IN MEMORIAM
As we were planning to launch this website and solicit members, we lost a dear friend and colleague, Michael Jones, a law professor at Arizona Summit Law School and a retired trial court judge in Arizona. Michael was one of our founding board members, and we will miss him dearly.
