The elections will take place over the next twelve weeks to allow members who are interested to consider standing and to allow time for votes to be counted and audited.
The current board has drawn up the election constituencies and timetable for the proceedings. AMI members will be assigned to a constituency, which will then elect a representative.
Chis Cummings, AMI director, said: “The current AMI board has achieved a tremendous amount. To take a start-up trade body from scratch to a position where it is the single recognised trade association within its industry sector in less then a year is impressive.”
