Interfilk Directors

Interfilk is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, incorporated in California. All of the work that goes into Interfilk is done on a volunteer basis. The Directors and their support receive no remuneration and often absorb their expenses as well. Their rewards come from working with a group of people who love filk, and watching (and hopefully, helping) the filk community thrive.

The Interfilk Board consists of Officers and Regional Directors. New members of the Board are chosen at the invitation of existing Directors. There is one Director for each major geographic area of the U.S. and Canada, and one who serves with no set geographic area (At Large Director). Meetings are conducted via conference call or at conventions where a quorum can be reached. The annual meeting is held at OVFF in October every year.

Spouses and “Significant Others” of Interfilk Directors are traditionally co-opted into assisting with various duties; they may attend all meetings in a consulting capacity but do not vote on guests or policies (although we cannot stop them from expressing opinions, nor would we dare try). They also serve as backup Directors in the case that a seated Director is temporarily unable to fulfil their duties.

Emeritus Directors

Emeritus Directors have been on the Board in the past, but have stepped down from being voting members of the Board. They may remain available for consultation, or carry out other duties, but they no longer vote.
