TIRRC expects its board members to take a somewhat broader leadership role than might be required for other nonprofit boards. TIRRC sees the Board as its "conscience," listening to the organization's immigrant and refugee base, ensuring that the organization remains faithful to its Founding Principles, and using both of the preceding criteria as the basis for decision-making and oversight. TIRRC's board of directors has 19 slots, with at least 2/3 of the board elected by the organizational membership at the Annual Membership Convention. Board members serve three-year terms, serving no more than three terms consecutively.
