Its Reorganization Program Washington, D. C, 1938

In accordance with the plan, seventeen geographical groups, comprising the Active Membership, each elected its member to the new NAB board. The seventeen directors then chose six directors at large, making twenty-three members of the new NAB board. This board, along with the newly appointed president, is to rule the NAB. An executive committee of six was selected by the board as its next step under the new NAB regime.
