GTA Bylaws
The following excerpt from Section 7 of the GTA Bylaws provides an overview of the makeup of the Board of Directors:
The GTA shall be governed by a Board of Directors. The Board will be composed, at the inauguration of the GTA, of five active full members. After the first election year, the Board will range in number from five to seven members. The number of members will be determined by a vote of the Board of Directors on an annual basis. Board terms will be for three years, except as provided in Section 7.1.2. Board members cannot serve consecutive terms unless they are elected to an officer position as described below.
Except as expressly set forth herein, the members of the Board of Directors shall be installed as follows. The initial GTA Board of Directors will be appointed by the NTEA Board of Trustees to a two-year term. Subsequently, the Board of Directors will be elected by a vote of the members in good standing to serve the following staggered terms: three Directors will be elected to serve a three-year term, one Director will be elected to serve a two-year term and one Director will be elected to serve a one-year term. Thereafter, all Directors will serve three-year terms. Members of the NTEA Board of Trustees may serve on the GTA Board of Directors, but no more than two then-sitting NTEA Trustees may be on the GTA Board of Directors at any given time.
For additional details on appointments to the GTA Board of Directors, selection and terms, please refer to the complete GTA Bylaws.
If you have questions or seek additional information on the Board nomination process, please contact GTA Managing Director Doyle Sumrall at doyle@ntea.com.
