The BOD consists of nine voting-eligible individuals who hold the following principal offices: incoming chair, chair, past chair, secretary, treasurer, communication coordinator, and up to three members at large. The board of directors holds its annual meeting at generally the same time and place as the annual Maize Genetics Meeting.
