Each board meeting includes meetings of the various standing committees and requires about one-and-a-half days, not including travel. A director should be able to devote a total of two to three weeks each year to MOAA matters, including travel, board and committee meetings, and participation in such other events as the annual Council Presidents’ Seminar, regional chapter symposia, and individual visits to councils and chapters. A director must refrain from activities that could reasonably be viewed as conflicting with, or possibly influencing the director’s judgment regarding, his or her responsibilities to MOAA. Directors receive no compensation but are reimbursed for their MOAA-related travel, lodging, and meals.
