2027 Board of Directors
2027 Board of Directors
Serving on the Board
Each member currently seated on the Board of Directors has been nominated by another member among the division membership. After nomination the membership body votes and elects that nominee to the Board of Directors. Typically, an individual is elected to the position of Sergeant-at-Arms and then each year seeks re-election and approval to move to the next position higher within the Board of Directors.
If you, or someone you work with, would make a positive addition to the vision and goals of the MNIAI, then we encourage you to nominate yourself or that coworker at our next General Membership Meeting which will be held during the annual Educational Conference.
