To be elected as president of the MML Officer Board, a member must first be elected and serve one year as second vice president, following another one-year term as first vice president and then be elected as president.

Having served the one-year term as president, the board member will resume their normal duties as a member of the executive board as long as they are mayor.

The 2014-2015 Officer Board will also consist of Mayor Jimmy Cockroft of Kosciusko as first vice president and Mayor Juan Barnett of Heidelburg as second vice president.
