Elections for board positions are held yearly.
- Membership vote occurs electronically from December 1, 2019, to February 15, 2020, 11:59 PM Eastern. Newly elected board members begin their term at the Sunday brunch on the last day of the NeMLA convention.
- Future Board openings are listed here. Nominations are accepted each year until August 15 and are listed in the Winter newsletter. Self-nominations are welcome. Submit nominations for 2019-2020 positions to nemla_nominations@nemla.org.
