You are receiving this message as a member of FMA who is eligible to serve on the governing body. You may submit yourself to be a candidate for the Board in accordance with the process below. Each interested candidate will need to complete the Candidate Response Form and review the Job Description for the Director position.

In accordance with the Corporation’s Bylaws, a Nominating Committee will review credentials of candidates and will provide a list of candidates, along with a rationale as to why the candidate would be a good fit for the Board of Directors at the June 4, 2019 Board Meeting.
