MSA seeks nominations for its 2025 Board of Directors

The Massachusetts Select Board Association, a member group of the MMA, is seeking nominations for its 2025 Board of Directors.

Nominations will be accepted for four officer positions: president, first vice president, second vice president, and secretary, all of whom serve a one-year term.

The five district representatives are also up for election this year, for two-year terms. The MSA districts are as follows:
• District 1: Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties
• District 2: Essex and Middlesex counties
• District 3: Bristol and Norfolk counties
• District 4: Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket and Plymouth counties
• District 5: Worcester County

With the exception of secretary, MSA board members also serve on the MMA Board of Directors.

Any select board member in Massachusetts may complete the online nomination form and submit his or her name for consideration. The form must be completed by Oct. 18.

MSA board responsibilities include attendance at MSA and MMA Board meetings. The MMA board meets on the second Tuesday of most months from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. These meetings are typically hybrid: Zoom as well as in-person at locations across the state. The MSA board also meets monthly on Zoom.

Board responsibilities also include working with MMA staff to develop agendas and identify speakers for MSA conferences and webinars, and participation in these events throughout the year. Previous participation in MMA events is strongly preferred.

After interviewing all nominees, the MSA Nominating Committee will prepare a slate of nominations for election during the MSA’s Annual Business Meeting, to be held during Connect 351, the MMA’s annual conference, on Jan. 25 in Boston.
