* In the fall of 2012, Travel Nunavut implemented an electronic voting system for the Board. This gives all members the opportunity to vote for the Board whether they can attend the AGM or not.

** In March of 2012, ED&T decided that it would not have a full-time ex-officio representative on any NGO Board, and now attends meetings only quarterly.
