MCIT is governed by a board of nine individuals elected or appointed from MCIT participating counties:

  • Six of the board seats are elected at large with staggered four-year terms that can be filled by county commissioners.
  • Two seats are elected at large with staggered four-year terms that can be filled by county auditors, auditor-treasurers or other principal financial officers.
  • One seat is filled by appointment based on a recommendation from the Minnesota Association of County Administrators.

Election Details

Any commissioner from an MCIT member county interested in being a candidate for the MCIT board may apply. The board generally meets monthly, and members serve on committees as needed.

Details about the election, roles and responsibilities of an MCIT board member and the candidate application process (including the due date) have been mailed to commissioners.

Each county is allowed one vote to be cast by its designated voting delegate or alternate.

Members should direct questions regarding the election to MCIT Executive Director Steve Nelson.
