Board of Governors Nominations

The Maryland State Bar Association is guided by leaders of the legal profession that sit on its Board of Governors. Every year, the MSBA seeks nominees for District governors according to the distribution outlined in the MSBA Bylaws.

Any MSBA member whose primary address falls within the District , and whose nomination is supported by at least ten (10) MSBA members from that District or the governing body of a local bar association within the District, may submit a petition for a vacancy.

To the extent the MSBA receives more petitions than available vacancies in any given District, an election will be held for that District. Nominees will be notified by email if an election is needed. Nominees will also receive any and all instructions for the election by email, and are solely responsible for completing any action items and meeting any deadlines outlined in the instructions.

If you have any questions about the petition process, please contact Theresa Michael at theresa@msba.org.
