The LAB is currently comprised of 14 elected Directors and the Chair, serving on staggered terms.\u00a0 Annually, one Directors position comes up for election from each of three regions. These three regions are British Columbia, Prairie (AB, SK and MB), and Eastern (ON, QC and the Atlantic).<\/p>\n
