ARTICLE VII. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 1. The business of this Association shall be managed
by its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be comprised
of the Executive Committee and a number of elected
Directors including: Regional Directors as defined in Section
1(a). and National Association Affiliate Directors (NAA Directors)
as defined in section 1(c).
(a) Regional Directors. The NRHA Board of Directors shall
be empowered to create, delete or modify regions which
shall encompass specified geographic areas on any Continent
with an NRHA membership, the boundaries of which may
change from time to time as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Association. NRHA members from each Affiliate
Region which has achieved an NRHA membership of
500 shall elect at least one director to the NRHA Board of
Directors. An additional director shall be elected from the
Affiliate Region when total NRHA membership in the region
reaches 1,000 members and another seat shall be elected
for each additional 500 members. In order to maintain
parity at the one (1) director for each 500 members ratio,
total directors to be elected within each U.S. Region will
be based on membership numbers as of December 31st
of the prior year. Then a determination will be made of
the additional directors to be elected based on the total
U.S. NRHA membership. Regions with the greatest number
of excess members over their 1/500 ratio will be allowed
to elect one additional director until the 1/500 ratio is
achieved in total for the U.S. Commencing with the 2012
Election year, regional director terms shall be staggered
based on a formula determined by the Board of Directors
and published within Section A. Election Procedures,
