Nomination Process for Incoming Officers and Directors
(Regular) Station Members
TAB’s bylaws direct the Chairman to chair and appoint a Nominating Committee. The committee is charged with
recommending a slate of officers for the coming year to TAB members. Members vote on the slate of officers.
Traditionally, each officer advances to the next position, leaving the Treasurer’s office vacant. The new officer typically
alternates between Radio and TV. If this tradition continues, a Radio member would be recommended as Treasurer in 2013.
Station members vote to fill director vacancies in their respective market categories.
Associate Members
Associates and station members also are asked to nominate Associates to serve on the Board. One is elected jointly by
station members and Associates. The second Associate is elected by the TAB Board.
Pioneer Members
Pioneer members are asked to nominate candidates to represent them on the Board. There is one seat allotted for this
class of membership.
Non-Commercial Stations
Non-Commercial members are asked to nominate candidates to represent them on the Board. There is one seat allotted for
this class of membership.
Members of the Texas Association of Broadcast Educators (TABE) select their representative to the Board at an annual
meeting typically held in conjunction with the TAB Annual Convention.
Group Representation Limits
TAB bylaws prohibit groups from having more than five Directors on the Board, including no more than two offices and no
more than two seats per market category. Below is a current status report on groups with more than one Board member.
