Board Position Descriptions

Members of the ABI Board of Directors are nominated by an appointed nomination committee, then presented to the shareholders by vote during the annual shareholder's meeting in January. The newly elected Board then appoints members to their positions by majority Board vote during the February Board meeting. The new Board then collectively determines the maintenance and operational needs of the ABI organization to preserve our valuable ABI property assets in accordance with ABI By-Laws. The ABI Board meets regularly to review both public and private matters concerning all ABI properties.

The Position Descriptions below summarize the overall responsibilities the Board Member volunteers serve in these roles and may not be inclusive of all efforts. As positions are voluntary, the organization understands and realizes personal priorities and family obligations. The ABI Board of Governors is a team effort. No one serves alone.
