The NRMA Director Elections
At the NRMA, six Directors (of a maximum nine in total) are elected by Ordinary Members. One Director is elected for each of the six regions. The elections are held on rotation, with elections held for three regions every two years. Eligible Ordinary Members are allocated to a region based on where they live and may cast their vote for a candidate in that region. With elected Directors holding office for four years, this means that Ordinary Members vote in the election for their region once every four years.
Although elected by the Ordinary Members living in a region, each elected NRMA Director has a duty to act in good faith and in the best interests of NRMA and its members as a whole.
