CIRI invites Shareholders and confirmed Descendants to serve on the CIRI Participation Committee. This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your knowledge of and strengthen ties with CIRI; network with your fellow Shareholders and Descendants, CIRI staff and Board Directors; and provide your voice and perspective to your corporation.
2024 application and selection process:
- The application window opens Friday, April 19 and closes Sunday, June 30, 2024.
- CIRI makes every effort to select members who represent the diversity of our Shareholders and Descendants.
- Members will serve two-year terms that begin at the time of selection and expire at the Annual Meeting two years later.
- Former members must typically wait six years before being eligible to serve again.
- There are typically two meetings per year and any necessary travel arrangements are made by CIRI. Members are compensated $150 per meeting day.
The purpose of the CIRI Participation Committee is to:
- Increase Shareholder and Descendant communication with the corporation.
- Identify issues of immediate and long-term importance to Shareholders and Descendants.
- Assist the corporation in educating Shareholders and Descendants on CIRI’s mission and values, business operations, corporate policies, Shareholder and Descendant opportunities and other matters.
