BEA Board of Directors Proposes Restructure of Geographic Districts & Interest Division Representatives
The BEA Board recently met to discuss the future of the IDR and to revisit a proposal made by the BEA Governance Committee in 2021 (see below for details outlining the proposal). The board unanimously approved the following three motions effective immediately:

- Designate a task force (or the existing Governance Committee) to develop a plan for the future of the merged Board District Representatives and Interest Division Representatives. The task force will have one year to determine and develop a rollout plan for changes to take place.
- Request each current BEA District Rep to begin working with a group of interest divisions.
