Background and Analysis:
Each year the PBIA holds elections for five of its 15 board members to sit for three-year terms. In addition to those five, there are three vacant 2-year terms and three vacant 1-year term. Four of the five board members whose terms are expiring at the end of the year have committed to running for an additional full term.
In August a nominating committee was formed to solicit potential board candidates for the 2020 election. Johnny Atlas of the New Moon Collective was the sole prospect. Because insufficient candidates led to a non-competitive election and a defacto appointment by the nominating committee, the board should consider appointing Mr. Atlas to one of the seven remaining positions.
