Every fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), 3 directors are elected to the Board through the established Annual Elections process. If positions on the Board become open, the first Board vacancy of every fiscal year is filled by the Reserve Director from the annual election the prior May. The Reserve Director is the candidate that received the 4th most votes (with a minimum of 50 votes).
Future Board vacancies in a fiscal year, after the Reserve Director has been seated, are appointed by the Board Directors. When there is an open Board position, the Board announces the vacancy, accepts applications, interviews the applicants, votes and an applicant is appointed
