About Us

The SMA Board is made up of 9 members, elected by membership, who serve a 3-year voluntary term. Every year, 3 members rotate off the Board and elections are held. Typically, the Board seeks candidates from membership in May and elections are held in June or early July. New Board members become acquainted with existing Board members in a short retreat, held in July.
