ABOUT A2IM’s BOARD
A2IM Board of Directors’ terms run for three years. Each board seat is term limited to one full three-year term. Any board member serving a full three-year term must sit out one year at the conclusion of her or his term before being eligible to run for election again. The A2IM board of directors meets in person or by teleconference 12x per year to review the agenda and progress of the organization, represent the membership at large, and assist in setting the priorities and direction for the organization. Each board member is encouraged to offer his or her expertise and opinions and to become involved in committees and projects supporting the efforts and growth of A2IM. The A2IM staff keeps the board informed of important developments as they arise and seeks guidance from the board in order to better serve the Independent music community.
ABOUT THIS YEAR’S ELECTION
There are Four (4) expiring seats up for election this year. The expiring seats are currently held by Glen Barros (Concord Music Group), Louis Posen (Hopeless Records), Portia Sabin (Kill Rock Stars) and Jim Selby (Concord Music Group). All four (4) A2IM board seats will be filled in early May by an online vote, of the full A2IM label membership, in a secret ballot with one (1) voter per label member company.
