Association for Manitoba Archives

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the legal authority for the Association for Manitoba Archives. As a member of the Board, a Director acts in a position of trust for the community and is responsible for the effective governance of the organization.

The Board of Directors is responsible for:

approving the membership of committees

approving policies recommended by Board committees prior to their coming into effect

approving all major commitments of time and financial resources required by Board committees

ensuring that Board committees have sufficient resources to carry out their mandates

Directors are elected by the membership at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Directors, except for the Student Member-at-Large, serve for a two-year term and may be re-elected for two additional terms. The Student Member-at-Large is a one-year term.

At present, the AMA’s Board of Directors consists of nine members: the Chairs of each Board Committee and the member-at-large positions.
