2005 · Confirmed

The IJSBA's post of 29 April 2005, New IJSBA Board of Directors Announced, lists Joe Heim among the directors elected to serve on its Board of Directors for 2005, representing Watercraft Manufacturers, with the country given as USA. The same post says the board's first business would be to elect a Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary Treasurer.

2006 · Confirmed

The association's corporate page, as captured on 11 February 2006, lists Joe Heim on its Board of Directors for Watercraft Manufacturers, Kawasaki, as Chairman of the Board, and lists him again, for Kawasaki, on its Manufacturer Committee. The page does not say when he took the chair.

2006 · Likely

An IJSBA post shown with the date 5 August 2006, Kawasaki and Joe Heim reelected to the IJSBA Board of Directors, says the association's Manufacturer Members had elected Joe Heim to serve a second term on its Board of Directors. The text prints no year, so 2006 is the date the page displays.

2012 · Confirmed

The association's corporate page, as captured on 20 June 2012, lists Joe Heim as the board's OEM Representative and its Chairman, and lists him, for Kawasaki, on its Technical/Rules Committee and its Executive Committee.

What the archive has not read (1)

• No held document gives the start or end of his board service or of his chairmanship beyond the four documents above, and none names a post of his between 2006 and 2012 (searched the archive's mirror and research cache for Heim, 2026-10-09). A co-promoter's thanks for the 2017 Mark Hahn 300, posted on the IJSBA's site and seen in a copy saved during research, names Joe Heim beside Kawasaki Motor Corp USA with no post, so it is not used.
