The members of the GISNY Corporation meet once a year at the Annual Meeting of Members, which takes place in November/December. The members ratify and approve the actions of the Board of Trustees from the preceding year and vote on motions that require approval. On that same evening, the members elect five candidates for a three-year term to the Board of Trustees, which consists of fifteen elected members. Furthermore, any member of the corporation in good standing can submit a candidacy to run as a trustee.
