Every year, 7 Director positions come up for election. Every odd year, the Executive Board comes up for election. All positions are voted on during the Annual Membership Meeting held during the annual convention. Each position serves a 2-year term. All bondmen running for a position must also be nominated and seconded during the Annual Meeting to be placed on the ballot.

One of the most important aspects of the 53rd Annual Convention is the election of all Officers and 7 Board of Director positions. Each position serves a two-year term and is responsible for guiding PBT in future endeavors and supervision of the administrative affairs of the PBT.
The following bondsmen have submitted their Intent to Run for a position during the General Membership Annual Meeting on October 13, 2023. All candidates must also be nominated and seconded by full members from the floor. Only full members who dues were current on August 14 as well as current the day of the election are allowed to vote.
