Since 1975, at least three Board positions are up for election each year by the membership. All positions are for 3 years unless the position to be filled is one vacated by a director who did not serve the full 3 years (because of death or resignation).

The table shows for each year the members whose names appeared on the official ballot, with those elected highlighted in bold. Incumbents are shown in italics. The number shown in parenthesis after the name of the person elected is the year when the person's term expires. At the present time this number is not shown for all years.
