Five three-year board positions are open: two for the packaging brewer class, two for the pub brewer class, and one for the taproom brewer class. An additional two-year packaging board seat is open to fill a recent vacancy.

Voting Guidelines
- Only one ballot per member brewing company will be counted (NOT one vote per location).
- Each voting member brewery can vote in only one category. If you are unsure which category is correct, you can vote in all three. We will review your ballot and retain the votes in the single correct category.
- Voting member criteria are described by the BA bylaws (no breweries-in-planning, suppliers, etc.).
- Note: Only votes in your voting membership class will count.
