APBA BOARD*

*The board voted earlier this year to end the practice of electing representatives from each congressional district. Instead, half of the board members are elected to represent the Little Rock market and the other half are elected from outside Little Rock. The board also voted to shrink the size of the board, so as of now we don't have any openings.
