More information is available in our bylaws but here is some important information, excerpted from the document:
Directors are elected by the members during the Annual Membership Meeting in November. Terms commence in January. Candidates for Director shall nominate themselves by submitting a statement of interest and qualifications to the Election Committee at least 15 days prior to the Annual Membership Meeting. Statements from all candidates will be posted on the web site 10 days prior to the Annual Membership Meeting. Directors-elect are expected to attend the regular Board Meeting in December, at which time Directors-elect will choose new Officers and select Chairs for all standing committees by consensus or vote if necessary. A Director may be assigned other duties, including Chairmanship of a Standing Committee.
