MATS Districts

The MATS board includes elected representatives from eight dictricts of the state. Each District Director works within their area to promote membership, encourage Supervisors to attend the Spring and Fall education conferences, bring ideas from the membership to the full board for duscussion, and more.

The board expanded from six to eight directors in 2008. Due to unprecedented growth in membership and keen interest of members to participate in the association's leadership and conference planning, the membership will soon consider a proposal to expand to twelve districts.
