Board Structure
NMA’s Board of Directors represents all segments and geographic regions of the U.S.
Directors are elected to a three-year term, and may serve a second term before a mandatory yearlong hiatus, thereby ensuring opportunities for leadership within NMA.
Directors representing General Members are elected from eight geographic regions encompassing the entire nation. There are three Directors per region, with the balance of directorships representing General Members allocated based on a referendum of members at the end of each calendar year (allocated proportionately).
Six Directors represent Allied and Associate members.
NMA’s Nominating Committee presents a recommended slate at the Annual Meeting during NMA’s Annual Convention.
Nominations may be made from the floor, as well. The Board of Directors elect the NMA officers at a separate meeting prior to the Annual Meeting. These officers make up the Executive Committee.
NMA’s Standing Committees meet biannually, during the Annual Convention and then at the Summer Conference. They may also meet upon call of the Committee Chairmen. All Committee Chairmen are also members of the Long Range Strategic Planning Committee.
All Committee meetings, excepting the Strategic Planning Committee and Executive Committee and including the Board of Directors, are open to all members. Prospective committee members should contact the appropriate Committee Chairman for more information.
