2020 Election Information

Article III of the MNGCA Bylaws, sets up the Board of Directors. The board members are elected for a one year term in the fall. According to the bylaws the vote happens and the term begins at the fall membership meeting/event. However, because of current restrictions on events, we’ll be holding a virtual election. And I apologize that we aren’t following the exact timelines described in the bylaws; but we’re hopeful that everyone will have plenty of time to know who is running and when elections will take place.
