EMDA Past Presidents
The Association's volunteer leadership consists of at least five directors representing different member firms. Directors are elected by the membership for a three year term. The Immediate Past-President may serve one additional year as a member of the Board of Directors, if nominated and elected and, traditionally, serve their final year on the Board as Secretary/Treasurer. At 2010 Fall Convention, Bylaws were amended to allow creation of an Associate Member Delegate seat on the Board of Directors. The Associate Member Delegate, if any are appointed by the Board, are elected to a two year term.
