Board nominations and elections

The 2025 Board of Director’s Election is now closed.

Meridian Board Members are generally elected for three-year terms. Every year Meridian holds Board Elections to fill vacancies for expired terms or to fill other vacancies that may have occurred.

Meridian’s Nominating Committee is responsible for ensuring the integrity and quality of the Director nomination and election process and for recommending, to the Membership, those candidates who are best qualified to serve Meridian as a Director to have a high performing Board.

Nomination and Election Process

Each year, the Board of Directors appoints a Nominating Committee who is responsible for ensuring the integrity and quality of the Director nomination and election process and for ensuring that candidates are well informed about the process. The Committee is also responsible to recommend to the Membership those candidates who are best qualified to serve Meridian as a Director to have a high performing Board.

Who may vote?

Each Member who holds $1.00 in Meridian Membership Shares on or before March 11, 2025 (other than a Member under the age of 18 years) is eligible to vote.

Diversity & Inclusiveness

Meridian’s Board recognizes and embraces the benefits of diversity in Board members. The following “Statement of Intent” was unanimously adopted by Meridian’s Board:

Meridian recognizes and embraces the benefits of diversity in Board members. A truly diverse Board will include and make good use of differences in the skills, regional and industry experience, background, race, gender and other attributes of Directors. These differences will be taken into account in determining the optimum composition of the Board. Board members who are recommended for election will be based on those best qualified while taking into account broad diversity required to represent our Membership of today and tomorrow.
