What is the MSGA Board of Directors?
The Board of Directors are composed of the president, first vice president, second vice president, and ten elected district directors which represent the Western, North Central, South Central, Northeastern and Southeastern districts of the state.
The Board of Directors have supervision, control, and direction of the affairs of the Association, shall actively pursue its purposes and have discretion in the disbursement of its funds. It may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as deemed advisable, and may, in the execution of the powers granted, appoint such agents as it may consider necessary.
District Board of Directors Elections
At each annual meeting, up to five district directors can be elected or re-elected for a term of two years. Any district director will be eligible for re-election. However, neither the president, first vice president and second vice president nor district directors of the Board of Directors may serve no more than two consecutive terms. After serving two terms, a Board member must sit off the Board for at least four years before becoming a candidate for district director election again.
Members may vote by electronic ballot for a district director vacancy provided the member only votes for the director position from the member’s district, and provided the ballot is received at the offices of the Association on or before the Friday preceding the opening of the annual meeting. Members attending the Association annual convention are allowed to vote for director positions in any district provided they have not voted previously by mail.
Officer Positions
The elective officers of the Association consist of the president, first vice-president, and second vice-president.
These officers are elected annually by the members of the Association present at the annual meeting, or by electronic ballot. Elections are by ballot and a majority of the votes cast shall be elected. Anyone running for an officer position must have completed two terms as a district board member.
