Who’s Eligible to Run for the Board of Directors?

 

Article III Governance
 
3.1     POMA shall be governed by a 10-member Board of Directors (excepting only 3.1(b)v, as described below). There may be two classifications of Board members:  1) Voting Media Member Directors, and 2) Corporate Partner Board Directors. Directors are elected from the Voting Media Membership, with the exception of one director who is elected from the Corporate Partner membership. Any further reference herein to “Board of Director(s),” “the Board,” or “Director(s)” shall include only Voting Media Member Director(s) unless specifically referencing the inclusion of Corporate Partner Board Directors. 

(a)  Directors and Officers: The Board shall consist of a Chairman, President, Secretary, Treasurer, which make up the Executive Committee, and six Directors, subject to 3.1(b) v. All Directors have voting privileges on Board actions, with the exception of the Chairman who shall have a vote only in the event a Board vote is a tie. The Corporate Partner Board Director, while eligible to vote on items presented to the Board of Directors, including election of officers, is not eligible to serve as an officer or chairman.

             i.       Only current Voting Media Members in good standing, as designated in Section 6.2(a) of these Bylaws, may be elected as Voting Media Member Directors. Voting Media Member Directors must maintain their voting status throughout their term on the Board. Each director serves for a term of three (3) years or until elected an officer or until a successor is qualified and duly elected/appointed.

             ii.     Officer and director candidates shall have completed at least three (3) continuous years of membership or shall have worked at a level that fulfills the Voting Media Member criteria for a period of at least five (5) consecutive years prior to the election.
