The CTA Midyear Business Meeting: Your Chance to Help Shape the Industry
During the Midyear Business Meeting, the members discuss pending industry issues, hear reports from standing committees, and vote to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors.
Directors serve a three-year term and may serve up to two consecutive terms. Only voting members are eligible to run as board candidates. To ensure that the Board of Directors reflects the diversity of the membership of the Association, each voting member company may have only one employee, representative, or agent on the board at any one time.
