IJSBA is pleased to announce the opening of period where the community may submit suggestions for changes to the IJSBA Competition Rule Book. This period begins now and ends December 16, 2025. At the end of this period, the IJSBA Managing Director will compile and publish the list of suggestions for peer review. By December 21, the IJSBA Managing Director will also publish a recommendation as to which of the suggested changes should be implemented, if any. This year, a Rule Committee shall also review the list of suggestions and may publish their findings as to which suggested changes should be implemented, if any. Shortly after the Christmas break, all suggestions, the Managing Director's recommendations, and the committee findings shall all be forwarded to the IJSBA Board of Directors for voting. Votes will be cast at the annual IJSBA Directors Meeting which is held at the beginning of the year (this has been held online since 2020). Results are expected to be published by the end of the first week of January 2025 with final language approved and ratified before February.

Then in the body of the email, please introduce yourself indicating your membership in IJSBA or IJSBA Affiliate and a short statement of your experience/resume. Then please itemize each suggestion along with a couple of words or sentences expressing the purpose of the suggestion. Please ensure a valid email and phone number so you can be contacted if clarification or further information is necessary.
IJSBA is grateful for all well thought out and professionally written submissions.
