Board of Directors and Officers
AmericaView is a national consortium comprised of individual state consortia. The national consortium is governed by a Board of Directors, elected to staggered multi-year terms of office by the membership. Board members serve on a voluntary basis and receive no compensation beyond travel support. Officers’ Terms are for a one year period, although by Board agreement, they may be extended for an additional year. Board Directors and Officers are elected at AV’s Winter Business Meeting (WBM) held annually, generally in the February to April time frame.
