Board of Directors Application Process

Serving on the Chamber's Board of Directors is an important responsibility and brings with it several requirements and expectations to best serve the Chamber membership and business community at large. Board positions are a 3-year commitment. Elections to vacant Board seats are open at the beginning of each year and close on March 1st. Elections take place at our general Membership Breakfast meeting in May.

If you are interested in serving on the Board of Directors, we encourage you to attend the annual Interest Meeting in February. Please check the Event Calendar for meeting details and registration.

  • Supporting decisions made by the Board of Directors.
  • Maintaining confidentiality of Board proceedings including any decisions, who made what motions, and any votes.
  • Referring any media inquiries to the President or Board Chairperson for comment.
  • Together with the Board of Directors, establishing policy and determining programs for the Chamber as needed.

Nomination and Selection Process

Nominations can be made in two ways:
  • A member may submit a nomination on their own behalf
  • A member may submit a nomination on behalf of another member

All nominations will go to the Governance/Nomination Committee, which will conduct interviews, and select the most qualified candidates to be on the ballot. The Nominating Committee convenes on the 2nd Friday in March to interview all nominated candidates.

Alternatively, a member may skip the Nomination Committee by collecting signatures from 5% of the membership and submitting them on a petition to be automatically placed on the ballot. Click here for the petition form.

If you have any questions about the Board of Directors nomination or selection process, please contact Patty Archer at patty@miramarpembrokepines.org or at (954) 432-9808 ext.104.
