The MHSA is currently in a transition period of changing its Board structure and election process.  
The system of Stakeholders representing each member agency has changed.  We will no longer have
member agencies select four Stakeholders who will then elect the Association Board.

The Board of Directors election process will begin with the discussion of the new election process at
the January 2012 Planning Meeting.  At this time, the new process will be fully explained.  

The election of new MHSA Board Members will take place during the General Meeting at the Spring
Training Fair on May 7, 2012.
