MNCBG brewery and brewpub members nominate and elect their Board of Directors members each summer; Board members volunteer their time and their service term is two years. Board members may re-run and be re-elected an unlimited number of times. We require 70% of brewery and brewpub member businesses to cast a vote in each election to ensure broad and fair representation. Find more information in our bylaws.
