An election will then be held in 2023 for Members to elect the remaining two Directors to the Board. Those elected in 2022 shall assume their positions effective on January 1, 2023 and those elected in 2023 shall assume their positions on January 1, 2024.

To be eligible to be elected to the Board a person must be currently employed by a Member and actively serving in the profession the person is proposed to represent on the Board.

Election of Directors. The annual election of Directors shall occur in accordance with this Agreement and the bylaws established by the Board.

Each Member in good standing when the nomination process begins has an opportunity to nominate people from its Governmental Unit for any or all the open positions on the Board. All persons nominated to a position must be eligible to represent that position on the Board. The Board shall collect the nominations and prepare a ballot to be distributed among the Members for a vote. Each Member in good standing shall have one vote on each open position. A Member must determine for itself who is authorized to submit nominations and cast the vote on its behalf. The name of the Member submitting the ballot must be on the ballot. The Board shall tabulate the votes and provide the Members a list of the persons elected to the Board. The conducting of 82
