A board of directors governs the business, property and affairs of the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce. The board is responsible for establishing policy, budgets and the guidance of affairs. The board is composed of up to 20 persons who shall be members in good standing of the chamber. Directors are elected for a term of three years, which are staggered so that approximately one-third of the directors are elected each year. Vacancies in the board shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors.

The Brownsville Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for members willing to be considered to serve on the board of directors. Open vacancies include seven three-year term vacant board of director positions, which will serve from Oct. 2022 to Sept. 2025. All eligible nominees will be considered by the nominating committee, chaired by Richard Abete, chairman of the board.

To be considered to be a director, nominees must be members in good standing. Members who have served as a director in the past should have had one year pass after the expiration of their term before seeking re-election.

Interested members should submit an up-to-date resume and a completed Board of Directors Nomination Form no later than 5 p.m. July 8. Nomination forms may be submitted online.
