MAGIP Board Elections

MAGIP elections are held annually in the spring. The primary purpose for elections is to elect incoming members of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors may bring additional initiatives (e.g. revisions to the MAGIP Bylaws or Constitution) to the membership for a vote during annual elections. Annually, Nominations open for Board Positions in April so that Elections can be finalized prior to the June Board of Directors Annual meeting.  

You must be a member of MAGIP to vote in the elections.  Please visit the MAGIP Membership page if you would like to join.
