Frequently Asked Questions:

How are individuals appointed to the Board of Directors?

Submissions will be accepted until July 25th. The election will begin on August 4th, with a list of nominees being distributed by e-mail. The election will conclude on August 25th. Results of the election will be determined based on the number of votes received for each candidate. The candidates with the highest number of votes will fill the voting positions, and candidates with the lowest number of votes will fill the alternate positions.

Who at my entity can be appointed to the Board of Directors?

In most cases, there are no restrictions as to who can serve from the PRISM's public entity membership. However, pursuant to our Bylaws, 1 of the voting positions must be filled by a School. The 2 other designated positions do not expire this year (City & Special District).
