The NNBA Board of Directors
The Northern Nevada Bluegrass Association was founded in 1978. Its Board of Directors are all volunteers. Terms of office are 1 year, but Board members can run for re-election as often as they want.
Our State Charter requires us to elect seven Board Members each year. Once elected, the Board members decide amongst themselves who will do what. Four Officer positions are decided on (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary), and their duties are described in our By-Laws (located here). The remaining three positions are "open for discussion" -- some of these positions over the years have been things like, Logistics Coordinator, Activities Coordinator, Educational Coordinator, Potluck & Social Activities Coordinator, Arist Liason, etc. All Board Members are requested to assume a leadership role for the annual Bowers Bluegrass Festival, which is held each August.
The NNBA Board holds one Meeting each month that typically lasts about an hour and a half. Board Meeting Minutes are kept by the Secretary and made available to the public online (click here to view) Meeting topics involve making plans and decisions about the many events that NNBA offers.
Nominees must be NNBA Members, and all nominees will be contacted to confirm their desire to run for office. The Board Elections are held each year in Febrary, at our Annual Meeting (which is also a Potluck and a Jam Session). Any questions, contact info@nnba.org
