  • Directors may be re-elected for a second three-year period.

  • Elections will be held to coincide with the annual Membership meeting. Special elections may also be called by the Board.

  • If there are not enough nominations to fill all the vacant slots, the Board will select nominees to make up the difference

  • Each member may a vote per each vacancy (e.g., if there are three vacant positions, a member may vote for up to three nominees)

  • Nominees are not required to be affiliated with JA-SIG Member organizations

  • In the event of a vacancy between elections, the Board will appoint an interim Board member until the next election
