The MREA Board of Directors is comprised of twenty-one persons -- sixteen directors elected by the membership and four statewide directors appointed by the Board.

Each zone elects one administrator, one teacher, one school board member, and one at-large member. The Board of Directors appoints two representatives of higher education and two representatives from a statewide agency.

The Board will make every effort possible to appoint one Agency Director from the southern two zones and one from the northern two zones and one Higher Ed Representative from the southern two zones and one from the northern two zones.

The twenty-first seat on the Board shall be used only in the case of seating the individual who holds the office of “Past-President”,
