Directors serve three-year terms and may be re-elected to serve two additional, three-year terms.

"Any TIA member in good standing or an official representative of an industry association may recommend candidates to the Nominating Committee," explained Peggy Fisher, TIA Nominating Committee chairperson. "Self-nominations are also welcome."

"TIA is looking for members with a passion for the tire industry," said TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield. "Becoming a volunteer member requires a time commitment with conference calls and meetings throughout the year. We believe the investment of time is definitely worth the experience members receive that are elected to the Board."

Nominations must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Apr. 3. The nomination form is available online at www.tireindustry.org or by calling 800-876-8372 x109.
