DUTIES OF ICD REGENTS

(Refer to ICD USA Section Bylaws, Article VIII and Article X, Section 1)

DESCRIPTION

“Regent” is the term to describe the leader of each of the seventeen ICD Districts in the US. Regents are elected by the Board of Regents for a term of four years. The seventeen Regents, along with the eight USA Section Officers, compose the USA Section Board of Regents, which is the governing body of the Section.

Each Regent is responsible for conducting and reporting the affairs of their District. Their roles are critically important in the governance of the Section. They implement the policy of the Board of Regents in their District and state chapters. They are expected to perform their duties in a thorough and timely manner.

DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES (could include but not limited to):

 Attend all meetings and functions of the Board of Regents.  Ensure that qualified candidates for Fellowship are identified and nominated in their

District. Furthermore, it is expected that the District Induction goal for each District is realized.  Disseminate ICD information between the National and District ICD personnel. They will provide appropriate District/state Fellow or District accomplishments or activities to the Section Office. Section Office will relay BOR actions to their District personnel.  Regents will vote on every Fellowship candidate.  Be familiar with the USA Section website and its contents: www.usa-icd.org.  Appoint the Deputy Regent(s) for the chapters of their District. Deputy Regents are appointed annually, their term to begin at 12:01 a.m. January 1st of the year following the Fall Convocation. Deputy Regents are appointed for one year but may serve indefinitely at the pleasure of the Regent. Since many Deputy Regents will move up to

Vice Regent and eventually Regent, some consideration should be given to the age of the Deputy Regent. When a Deputy Regent concludes his term of office, it should be acknowledged by the Regent. On request, the Section Office can provide a certificate of appreciation for the Regent to present.  Provide the Registrar with his/her recommendations for the new District Regent and

Vice Regent at least sixty (60) days prior to his/her last Fall BOR meeting, when the

Regent and Vice Regent elections will take place.  Submit electronic reports to the Registrar forty-five (45) days prior to a BOR meeting.

Such reports will identify activities that occurred in their Districts since the last meeting of the BOR.  Send (preferably digital) copies of any District newsletters to the rest of the Board and the officers. Digital copies of the newsletters should be emailed to the Section Office for posting on the ICD website.
