VOTING PROCESS:
Alberta Music’s Board of Directors is comprised of 7-9 Board Members. There are currently 3 positions open for election. Our by-laws state that a minimum of three director positions must be filled from each geographical area code (780) & (403).
Directors in good standing represent the (780) region with three members and the (403) region with three. In order to fulfill the requirement of three directors from each area code region, the nominees this year may be from (780) or (403) in any proportion. The board complement will be filled with the next highest number of votes, regardless of area code region.
