The Board will include NIMAS Development Center staff, DAISY Maintenance Committee personnel, Accessible Media Producers (AMPs), staff from the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC), curriculum publishers, and experts in the area of specialized-format production for individuals with disabilities. NIMAS Board members will initially be appointed by the NIMAS Development Center to a two-year renewable term beginning in January, 2008. Subsequent member nominations will be submitted directly to the Board. The NIMAS Board will be comprised of both voting and non-voting (ex-officio) members.
