The MEHA Executive Board is the governing body of the organization. It consists of the Officers (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary), the Immediate Past President and twelve at-large members.
The officers are elected annually and the at-large members serve staggered three years terms, with four at-large positions becoming open each year.
Additionally, there are several standing committees appointed by the President, which address specific issues and represent MEHA on other boards and at stakeholder meetings.
Any member in good standing is eligible for election to an Executive Board position. If you are interested in serving on the Executive Board, contact us at [email protected]
