Executive
Board
The TEFMA Board consists of nine members; President, President Elect, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer and five Directors. A person elected Vice President commences a three-year cycle of Vice President, President Elect and President. This is designed to ensure some continuity of corporate knowledge and stability.
Ordinary Board members and Secretary/Treasurer are elected for a two-year term. The Board meets five times a year, for a one day meeting, although at times it can be two days, for example to review the Strategic Plan. Two of these meetings are held on the day before and day after the Annual Conference. The remaining three meetings are held about every three months. Two of the Board meetings are held in conjunction with Workshops.
