The NMGIC Board of Directors has nine members, elected by the NMGIC membership in the Fall of each year. The NMGIC Elections Committee conducts the elections. Board members serve for two-year terms; these terms are staggered so that four Board members are elected in one year, followed by five members in the next year. Terms begin on January 1st of the following year; there are no term limits. Any NMGIC member who is a resident of the state of New Mexico is eligible for nomination to the Board.
Board roles (President, Workshop Coordinator, etc.) are determined during the yearly January Board Business Meeting. The position or role of the President is voted upon by the current Board members. The President then works with the Board to assign the roles of Secretary and Treasurer, as well as fill the other positions.
