Board of directors. IPSAN shall be governed by a board of directors. The IPSAN Board shall consist of 6 voting members. Three members shall be appointed by the Illinois Sheriffs' Association, and 3 members shall be appointed by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police. To the extent practical, voting members should be active or retired chiefs of police or sheriffs, should represent Statewide interests of the Associations that appointed them, and should attend board meetings. The Director of Corrections, the Director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the Director of the Illinois State Police, the Sheriff of Cook County, and the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, or the designee of each, may be invited by the board of directors to serve as non-voting ex officio members. The Executive Director appointed under Section 30 of this Act shall serve as a non-voting ex officio member of the board. Members shall serve terms of one year at the pleasure of the Association making the appointment, but shall be eligible for re-appointment. A vacancy among members appointed shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment for the remainder of the vacated term. Members of the Board shall receive no compensation but shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. However, a board member who is a retired chief of police or retired sheriff may be entitled to reimbursement for services provided to or on behalf of IPSAN as may be appropriate. The Board shall designate a temporary president of the Board from among the members, who shall serve until a permanent president is elected by the Board of Directors.
