In addition to the At-Large Directors and the Immediate Past Chairman serving on the Board, the MBA Bylaws call for each Board of Governors to select four of its members to serve on the Board. Board members serve staggered two-year terms except for the Officers and leadership of the COMBOG, the latter of whom each serve one three-year term, corresponding to their term of service on the COMBOG ladder. David Stevens, CMB, MBAs President and CEO, serves on the Board ex officio as a non-voting member.
The MBA Board of Directors approved the use of an electronic ballot at its meeting a year ago August. Increasingly more states are enacting legislation permitting voting by electronic means.
