Meet the Board
“The mission of the Society is to enhance the quality of teaching and learning across the management disciplines.”
~ Mission Statement of MOBTS
The MOBTS Board of Directors is comprised of member volunteers. The board is typically comprised of 11-15 votes, a majority of which must be elected (as opposed to appointed). The Board may also provide ex-officio non-voting roles as warranted. For more information on the Board of Directors, respective roles, elections, and other related items, please review our Bylaws.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is comprised of five voting members (the President, OB-1, Treasurer, Secretary, and an At-Large -or- the President-Elect, when applicable) and one non-voting member (Executive Director). The Executive Committee shall exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors during the intervals between the meetings of the Board, except as otherwise provided by the Bylaws.
