The election and selection processes took place last week, and 16 new directors have been appointed, according to a Union Board release.
In the Union Board election process, a general election takes place, and the eight candidates receiving the highest number of votes are elected, according to the Union Board Constitution.
Then there is a selection process during which the remaining eight director positions are filled.
The new directors received training last weekend from the directors of the 105th Union Board, according to the release.
The executive council was also elected and committees were established for next year.
Union Board President-elect Jacqueline Bales said in the release that the new board seems to have a similar vision for Union Board’s future.
Union Board is the governing body of the Indiana Memorial Union and the largest student programming organization on campus.
