GAMA Board Election
In March of 2022 we will be holding elections to fill six seats on our board of directors. Under the new bylaws adopted in July 2021, the board will be comprised of twelve directors elected from the six voting membership groups: creators, media & event organizers, manufacturers, publishers, retailers, and wholesale. Each membership group will have two representatives on board, elected to two-year terms. As part of a transition plan six directors were elected fall of 2021, with the remaining six to be elected in March 2022. Over the next few weeks, we will release information on how these elections will be conducted for each voting membership group. Look at our website or social media platforms for details.
